This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Job_31:28 This also [were] an iniquity [to be punished by] the judge: for I should have denied the God [that is] above.
Ver. 28. This also were an iniquity to be punished by the judge] No less than adultery, but rather more. This also is iniquitas iudiciaria, a God provoking, land desolating sin, a wickedness with a witness, a capital crime. See Job_31:11, and take notice how these foul sins swell in Job’s eyes as so many toads; and how full in the mouth he is in speaking of them.
For I should have denied the God that is above] Far above any of these deastri gentium, even the most high God, Gen_14:18; Gen_14:22. I should rob the master to give to the servant; ascribe that to the creature which is due only to the Creator; this he will by no means endure. For, be the gods of the heathens good fellows, saith one; the true God is a jealous God, and will not share his glory with another.
