Thou hast taken a pledge] The Hebrew is no more then this, Thou hast pledged. ¹The word signifies also to bind, or fasten a thing as with a cord, and the reason is, because a pledge given is an obligation, a tie or bond to perform the promise made, or pay the debt contracted. A promise is an audible bond, but a pledge is a visible bond. It is no sin in it self to take a pledge, no more then it is a sin to buy, sell, or to engage a man any other way, to perform a bargain, or repay a debt. The Law of God published by Moses allowed the taking of a pledge, what is it then which Eliphaz chargeth upon Job as sinful in taking a pledge? I conceive there are two things which show sinfulness in taking a pledge, and that both are implied here.
