Job 31:9 - Exposition

If mine heart have been deceived by a woman ; rather, enticed , or allured unto a woman . If, that is, I have suffered myself at any time to be enticed by the wiles of a "strange woman" ( Proverbs 5:3 ; Proverbs 6:24 , etc.), and have so far yielded as to go after her; and if I have laid wait at my neighbour's door —watching for an opportunity to enter unseen, while the goodman is away ( Proverbs 7:19 ) Job is not speaking of what he has done, but of what men may suspect him of having done.
