gall-put for a vital part; so the liver (La 2:11).

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

16:6-16 Here is a doleful representation of Job's grievances. What reason we have to bless God, that we are not making such complaints! Even good men, when in great troubles, have much ado not to entertain hard thoughts of God. Eliphaz had represented Job as unhumbled under his affliction: No, says Job, I know better things; the dust is now the fittest place for me. In this he reminds us of Christ, who was a man of sorrows, and pronounced those blessed that mourn, for they shall be comforted.


Job 6:4 "For the arrows of the Almighty are within me, Their poison my spirit drinks; The terrors of God are arrayed against me.
Job 19:12 "His troops come together, And build up their way against me And camp around my tent.
Job 20:25 "It is drawn forth and comes out of his back, Even the glittering point from his gall. Terrors come upon him,
Job 25:3 "Is there any number to His troops? And upon whom does His light not rise? (NASB ©1995)
