Job 16:7 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

But now he Namely, God; hath made me weary Either of complaining, or of my life. “He hath long since quite tired me with one trouble upon another.” Bishop Patrick. Thou hast made desolate all my company “Thou hast not ceased, O God, till thou hast left me neither goods nor children, no, nor a friend to comfort me.” He speaks in the second person, to God, as in the former clause in the third person, of God: such a change of persons is very usual in Scripture, and “is esteemed,” says Chappelow, “a singular ornament in poetry.”
