Wesley's Notes

16:9 Eyes - Looks upon me with a fierce, and sparkling eye, as enraged persons use to do.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

9. Image from a wild beast. So God is represented (Job 10:16).

who hateth me-rather, "and pursues me hard." Job would not ascribe "hatred" to God (Ps 50:22).

mine enemy-rather, "he sharpens, &c., as an enemy" (Ps 7:12). Darts wrathful glances at me, like a foe (Job 13:24).

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 13:24 "Why do You hide Your face And consider me Your enemy?

Job 19:11 "He has also kindled His anger against me And considered me as His enemy.

Job 33:10 'Behold, He invents pretexts against me; He counts me as His enemy.

Psalm 35:16 Like godless jesters at a feast, They gnashed at me with their teeth.

Lamentations 2:16 All your enemies Have opened their mouths wide against you; They hiss and gnash their teeth. They say, "We have swallowed her up! Surely this is the day for which we waited; We have reached it, we have seen it."

Hosea 6:1 "Come, let us return to the LORD. For He has torn us, but He will heal us; He has wounded us, but He will bandage us.
