Commentaries:
Adam Clarke
The commandment of his lips - The written law that proceeded from his own mouth.
I have esteemed the words of his mouth - Mr. Good has given a better version of the original: In my bosom have I stored up the words of his mouth. The Asiatics carry every thing precious or valuable in their bosom, their handkerchiefs, jewels, purses, etc. Job, therefore, intimates that the words of God' s mouth were to him a most precious treasure.
