Job 31:10
| Let my wife be the harlot of another, and let other men lie with her.
| Let. Hebrew, "Let my wife grind for another, and let others bend over her," urging her to work like the meanest slave. (Calmet) --- Septuagint, "Let my wife please (Grabe substitutes l for r, and reads alesai, grind for) another, and my little children be brought low." (Haydock) --- Yet the sense of the Vulgate is most followed, Ecclesiasticus 47:21., and Lamentations 5:13. Ausonius (epig. 5) says, molitur per utramque cavernam. (Calmet)
