Matthew Poole and continuators on Job 31:13

13. If I did despise the cause of my man-servant , or of my maid-servant, when they contended with me ;

If I used my power over him to overthrow him or his just rights. And seeing it is known that I was so just and kind to them over whom I had such unlimited power, it is not probable that I should be guilty of such cruelty to others, as you impute to me.

Either for imposing heavier burdens than they could bear; or for not providing for them those supports which their nature and necessity required, or for any other plausible cause. I heard them patiently and indifferently, and did them right even against my self, if by any mis-information or passion I had done them any Injury.
