Job 7:17 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

What is man Enosh, lapsed, fallen man; that thou shouldest magnify him? What is there in that poor, mean creature called man, miserable man, which can induce thee to take any notice of him, or to make such account of him? Man is not worthy of thy favour, and he is below thy anger. It is too great a condescension in thee, and too great an honour done to man, that thou shouldst contend with him, and draw forth all thy forces against him, as if he were a fit match for thee. Therefore do not, O Lord, thus dishonour thyself or magnify me; and that thou shouldest set thy heart upon him Shouldst concern thyself so much about him, as though he were a creature of great dignity and worth, or were near and dear to thee.
