Job 31: Job’s Final Oath of Innocence

Job closes his defense by swearing he is innocent of lust, dishonesty, adultery, and unfair treatment of servants, the poor, widows, orphans and strangers. He denies trusting wealth, worshiping the heavens, gloating over enemies or hiding sin, then signs his case, asks God to answer, and ends with an oath on his land.
