Job 31:13
If I have rejected the cause of my manservant or maidservant when they made a complaint against me,
BSB
ASV
If I have despised the cause of my man-servant or of my maid-servant, When they contended with me;
KJV
If I did despise the cause of my manservant or of my maidservant, when they contended with me;
If I despised to submit to judgment with my man-servant or with my maid-servant, when they contended with me. For he who did not refuse to be 'judged with menservants and maid-servants,' clearly shews that against no fellow-creature was he at any time swoln with pride in himself. But herein it is interesting to remark with what circumspection the holy man preserved his life in all respects. For not far above he said, The young men saw me, and hid themselves: and the aged arose and stood up. The princes refrained talking, and laid their hand on their mouth.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
