Job 31:39 - Exposition

If I have eaten the fruits thereof without money ; i.e . without acquiring a title to them by purchase . Or have caused the owners thereof to lose their life. Either by actual violence or by depriving them of the means of support (see the comment on Job 29:13 ). Job had been accused of robbery and oppression both by Zophar ( Job 20:12-19 ) and Eliphaz ( Job 22:5-9 ). He had not, however, been accused of actual murder.
