Job 6:27 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

Yea, ye overwhelm the fatherless, and ye dig a pit for your friend. Ye overwhelm the fatherless - Ye see that I am as destitute as the most miserable orphan; would ye overwhelm such a one? and would you dig a pit for your friend - do ye lay wait for me, and endeavor to entangle me in my talk? I believe this to be the spirit of Job's words.

Job 6:27

27 Yea, ye overwhelme the fatherless, and ye dig a pit for your friend.
