Commentary for Job 31:29

אִם־אֶ֭שְׂמַח בְּפִ֣יד מְשַׂנְאִ֑י וְ֝הִתְעֹרַ֗רְתִּי כִּֽי־מְצָ֥אוֹ רָֽע׃

If I rejoiced at the destruction of him that hated me, Or exulted when evil found him—

Job’s conduct towards his fellows had also been blameless. He never sought the downfall of anyone, not even of his enemies.
