Job 16:7 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

But now he hath made me weary: thou hast made desolate all my company.

But now - truly now.

He - God.

Company - `all my family,' 'all my band of witnesses,'-namely, those who could attest his innocence, his children, servants, etc. So the same Hebrew is translated next verse. Umbreit makes his 'band of witnesses' himself; because, alas! he had no other to witness for him. But this is too recondite.

Job 16:7

7 But now he hath made me weary: thou hast made desolate all my company.
