Job 19:15 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

They that dwell in mine house, Heb. the sojourners of my house, i.e. such as had formerly sojourned with me, whether strangers. widows, and fatherless, whom by the law of charity and hospitality he entertained; or hired servants, who had for a good while their habitation and subsistence in his family. My maids; who, by reason of their sex, commonly have and should have more tender and compassionate hearts than men. And therefore this is God's doing, who hath hardened their hearts against me. Count me for a stranger; regard my commands and concerns no more than a stranger. I am an alien in their sight; the same thing repeated, through vehemency of passion, because this lay very heavy upon him.
