Job 31: Integrity Before God
Reading the Bible Daily with Dave • Dave Jenkins • Monday, February 12, 2026
Show Summary
In Job 31, Job brings his defense to its climax with a solemn appeal to integrity before God. After remembering former blessings (Job 29) and describing present suffering (Job 30), Job opens his life for examination—his actions, motives, desires, and worship. He is not claiming perfection, but affirming that his suffering is not the judgment of hidden rebellion.
This chapter calls us to pursue holiness with humility, to live honestly before the Lord, and to remember that our hope is ultimately in Christ—our only perfect righteousness.
