Job 31:34
34 Did I fear a great multitude, or did the contempt of families terrify me, that I kept silence, and went not out of the door?
Job 31:34
Job 31:34. "Did I fear?" etc. In these early days great account was made of men's pedigree, and they were kept with care; and when men's lives were so long, great numbers of the dependents of one living ancestor were alive at once, so that those who were called a family were commonly a great multitude. Job declares that he was not deterred from doing justice in his office of a judge through fear of the great multitude that were of the family of him that was to be condemned or displeased in the judgment.
Job 33:14-16
