In this message we will consider 31:1—32:1, the conclusion of Job's final speaking to his three friends.
In chapter thirty-one Job boasted of his uprightness, righteousness, integrity, and perfection.
In order to practice his uprightness, righteousness, integrity, and perfection, Job restrained the lust of his flesh in fearing God (vv. 1-4). Job's word in verse 4 indicates that he feared God: "Does He not see my ways/And count all my steps?"
Job boasted that he did not walk with falsehood and after deceit (vv. 5-8). He said, "If I have walked with falsehood,/And my foot has hastened after deceit—/Let Him weigh me in a righteous balance,/And let God know my integrity" (vv. 5-6). Humanly speaking, it was very good that Job did not practice falsehood or deceit.
Job went on to say that he abhorred adultery as a heinous act (vv. 9-12). Adultery is evil, and we all must hate it.
