| Geneva Study Bible Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, and increasest thine indignation upon me; {r} changes and war are against me. (r) That is, diversity of diseases and in great abundance; showing that God has infinite means to punish man. Wesley's Notes 10:17 Witnesses - Thy judgments, which are the evidences both of my sins, and of thy wrath. Indignation - My miseries are the effects of thine anger. Army - Changes may denote the various kinds, and an army the great number of his afflictions. King James Translators' Notes witnesses: that is, plagues Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary 17. witnesses-His accumulated trials were like a succession of witnesses brought up in proof of his guilt, to wear out the accused. changes and war-rather, "(thou settest in array) against me host after host" (literally, "changes and a host," that is, a succession of hosts); namely, his afflictions, and then reproach upon reproach from his friends. Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary 10:14-22 Job did not deny that as a sinner he deserved his sufferings; but he thought that justice was executed upon him with peculiar rigour. His gloom, unbelief, and hard thoughts of God, were as much to be ascribed to Satan's inward temptations, and his anguish of soul, under the sense of God's displeasure, as to his outward trials, and remaining depravity. Our Creator, become in Christ our Redeemer also, will not destroy the work of his hands in any humble believer; but will renew him unto holiness, that he may enjoy eternal life. If anguish on earth renders the grave a desirable refuge, what will be their condition who are condemned to the blackness of darkness for ever? Let every sinner seek deliverance from that dreadful state, and every believer be thankful to Jesus, who delivereth from the wrath to come. |
