Charles Ellicott Commentary Job 31:13

"If I have despised the cause of my man-servant or of my maid-servant, When they contended with me;" — Job 31:13 (ASV)

If I did despise. —In Job 22:8, Eliphaz had insinuated that Job had favoured the rich and powerful, but had oppressed and ground down the weak. He now meets this accusation, and affirms that he had regarded his own servants even as brethren, because partakers of a common humanity.
