Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Job 7:12

COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

12. Why dost thou deny me the comfort of care-assuaging sleep? Why scarest thou me with frightful dreams? Am I a sea —regarded in Old Testament poetry as a violent rebel against God, the Lord of nature, who therefore curbs his violence ( :- ). or a whale —or some other sea monster ( Isaiah 27:1 ), that Thou needest thus to watch and curb me? The Egyptians watched the crocodile most carefully to prevent its doing mischief. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-14" class="com-number"
