Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

7-9. hedged-(Job 3:23; Ho 2:6).

chain-literally, "chain of brass."

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

3:1-20 The prophet relates the more gloomy and discouraging part of his experience, and how he found support and relief. In the time of his trial the Lord had become terrible to him. It was an affliction that was misery itself; for sin makes the cup of affliction a bitter cup. The struggle between unbelief and faith is often very severe. But the weakest believer is wrong, if he thinks that his strength and hope are perished from the Lord.


Job 3:23 "Why is light given to a man whose way is hidden, And whom God has hedged in?
Job 19:8 "He has walled up my way so that I cannot pass, And He has put darkness on my paths.
Jeremiah 40:4 "But now, behold, I am freeing you today from the chains which are on your hands. If you would prefer to come with me to Babylon, come along, and I will look after you; but if you would prefer not to come with me to Babylon, never mind. Look, the whole land is before you; go wherever it seems good and right for you to go." (NASB ©1995)
