Thou hast covered with anger, &c.— Thou hast fenced about with anger. The verb סכךֶ sakak appears to have this sense, Job 3:23; Job 10:11; Job 38:8. There seems to be a manifest allusion to the manner of hunting wild beasts in the eastern countries, by surrounding at first a large tract of ground with toils, which the beasts could not break through; and these being drawn in by degrees, the bears were driven into a narrower space, where they were killed with darts and javelins, at the will of the hunters. See Bishop Lowth's Note on Isaiah 24:17-18. Statius gives a description, exactly similar, of the method of inclosing wild beasts in toils or nets; Achill. l. 459.
