Job 31:30

Context

31:30 I 1  have not even permitted my mouth 2  to sin

by asking 3  for his life through a curse –

1 tn This verse would then be a parenthesis in which he stops to claim his innocence.

2 tn Heb “I have not given my palate.”

3 tn The infinitive construct with the ל (lamed) preposition (“by asking”) serves in an epexegetical capacity here, explaining the verb of the first colon (“permitted…to sin”). To seek a curse on anyone would be a sin.
