Wesley's Notes

16:7 He - God, as appears by the following words. Weary - Either of complaining, or, of my life. Desolate - Hast turned my society into desolation, by destroying my children and servants.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

7. But now-rather, "ah!"

he-God.

company-rather, "band of witnesses," namely, those who could attest his innocence (his children, servants, &c.). So the same Hebrew is translated in Job 16:8. Umbreit makes his "band of witnesses," himself, for, alas! he had no other witness for him. But this is too recondite.

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 7:3 So am I allotted months of vanity, And nights of trouble are appointed me.
Job 16:20 "My friends are my scoffers; My eye weeps to God.
Job 19:13 "He has removed my brothers far from me, And my acquaintances are completely estranged from me. (NASB ©1995)
