Job31:12
12. For it is a fire that consumeth to destruction , and would root out all mine encrease .
For this sin would be as a secret but consuming fire, wasting my estate and Reputation, and Body and Soul too, provoking God, and enraging the Husband, and bringing down some extraordinary Vengeance upon me: And therefore the fear of God kept me from this and such like wickedness.
i. e. All my Estate: Compare Prov. 6. 27.
