Job 19:3

Verse 3. Ten times; very often.—Oppress me. Hebrew word occurs no where else, and is variously translated. It may signify, “to dig a pit for me.” Calmet. 6:27. Psalms 6:6. Job repeats nearly what he had said before, only with greater vehemence. He admits that Providence treats him in an unusual manner. Yet he still retains an assured hope, and arraigns his adversaries before the divine tribunal. Calmet.—Yet he rather hesitates; (verse 4, 6) and this species of ignorance is the folly of which he, at last, accuses himself. Calmet. 42:3. It was no real fault, ib. 5:8. Bible.
