Wesley's Notes for Job 31:17

31:16 If I - Denied them what they desired of me. To fail - With tedious expectation of my justice or charity. Job is most large upon this head, because in this matter Eliphaz had most particularly accused him.

31:18 Youth - As soon as I was capable of managing mine own affairs. With me - Under my care. A father - With all the diligence and tenderness of a father. Her - The widow mentioned ver.#16|. From - From my tender years; ever since I was capable of discerning good and evil.

31:19 Perish - When it was in my power to help them.
