Job 30:22 - Adam Clarke

Job 30:22

Compare all

20 “I ^acry out to You, but You do not answer me;
I stand up, and You regard me.

21 But You have become cruel to me;
With the strength of Your hand You ^aoppose me.

22 You lift me up to the wind and cause me to ride on it;
You spoil my success.

23 For I know that You will bring me to death,
And to the house ^aappointed for all living.

24 “Surely He would not stretch out His hand against a heap of ruins,
If they cry out when He destroys it.

Job 30:22

Thou liftest me up to the wind - Thou hast so completely stripped me of all my substance, that I am like chaff lifted up by the wind; or as a straw, the sport of every breeze; and at last carried totally away, being dissipated into particles by the continued agitation.
