Job 22:10,11 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

Therefore snares are round about thee For these and the like crimes thou art encompassed with dangers and calamities. And sudden fear troubleth thee Besides thy present miseries, thou art tormented with the dread of further and greater judgments. Or darkness, that thou canst not see Such confusion and perplexity of mind that thou canst not discern the true cause and use of thy sufferings; or grievous calamities, often called darkness, which are such that thou canst see no way or possibility of escaping; and abundance of waters cover thee That is, a variety of sore afflictions, frequently compared to waters.
