He teareth me in his wrath, Heb. his wrath teareth me in pieces, as a lion doth his prey. Who hateth me, Heb. and he hateth me, i.e. he pursueth me with a deadly hatred and rage. Or, and he is become mine enemy; or, he sets himself against me with all his might; or, he treats me like an implacable enemy. He gnasheth upon me with his teeth; which is a gesture and sign of extreme anger and fury, as Psalms 35:16, Psalms 37:12 Lamentations 2:16; as elsewhere of grievous pain, as Luke 13:28. Mine enemy; either,
1. God, who of a friend is now become my implacable enemy. Or,
2. Eliphaz, who deals with me more like an enemy than a friend. Sharpeneth his eyes upon me, i.e. looks upon me with a fierce and sparkling eye, as enraged persons uso to do.
