Job 14:3 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Dost thou open thine eyes upon such an one; either,

1. To take thought or care about him. Or rather,

2. To observe all his ways, that thou mayst find cause of punishment. He is not a fit match for thee. It is below thee to contend with him, and to use thy infinite wisdom and power to crush him. This seems best to suit with the scope and context. Bringest me into judgment with thee, i.e. pleadest with me by thy judgments, and thereby, in a manner, forcest me to plead with thee, without granting me those two necessary and favourable conditions, expressed Job 13:20,21.

Job 14:3

3 And dost thou open thine eyes upon such an one, and bringest me into judgment with thee?
