Job31:30

30. Neither have I suffered my mouth to sin, by wishing a curse to his soul:

Heb. my palate, which being one of the Instruments of Speech is put for another, or for all the rest. The sense is, If any secret passion or desire of his hurt did arise in me, I forthwith suppressed it, and did not suffer it to grow and break forth into an Imprecation of hurt to him.

Marginal references: [illegible: 1 word]. 5. 4▪ Ro[illegible: 1+ letters]. 12. 14▪; Heb. my Palate.
