Job 30:9 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

And now am I their song, yea, I am their byword. (Job 17:6.) Strikingly similar to the derision Jesus Christ underwent (Lamentations 3:14; Psalms 69:12). Here Job returns to the sentiment in Job 30:1. It is to such that I am become a song of 'derision.'

Job 30:9
