Job 30:20 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Thou dost not hear me, to wit, so as to answer or help me. I stand up, or, I stand, to wit, before thee, i.e. I pray, as this phrase signifies, Jeremiah 15:1, Jeremiah 18:20, this being a gesture of prayer, Matthew 6:5. And so the same thing is here repeated in other words, after the manner. Or, I persist or persevere in praying; I pray importunately and continually, as thou requirest. Thou regardest me not; so the particle not is supplied out of the former clause. Or without the negation, thou knowest or observest me, and all my griefs and cries, and yet dost not pity nor help me, but rather takest pleasure in the contemplation of my calamities, as the following words imply. Or it may be taken interrogatively, Dost thou regard me ? i.e. thou dost not.
