“If I rejoiced at the destruction of him that hated me, or lifted up myself when evil found him:”
I have not allowed my mouth to sin by asking for his life with a curse, extending the claim by establishing that Job has not cursed enemies to death, that his speech has been restrained even in conflict. The allowing mouth to sin suggests sinful speech. The asking for life with curse suggests invoking death on enemies. The verse establishes that Job's moral restraint extends to the realm of speech and curse.
