6 Know now that God hath overthrown me, and hath compassed me with his net.
6 then know that God has wronged me and drawn his net around me.
6 know then that God has put me in the wrong and closed his net about me.
6 Tell it to God - he's the one behind all this, he's the one who dragged me into this mess.
6 Know then that God has wronged me, And has surrounded me with His net.
6 But it is God who has wronged me, capturing me in his net.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Job 19:6
Commentary on Job 19:1-7
(Read Job 19:1-7)
Job's friends blamed him as a wicked man, because he was so afflicted; here he describes their unkindness, showing that what they condemned was capable of excuse. Harsh language from friends, greatly adds to the weight of afflictions: yet it is best not to lay it to heart, lest we harbour resentment. Rather let us look to Him who endured the contradiction of sinners against himself, and was treated with far more cruelty than Job was, or we can be.
