Commentary on Job 19:10

Theological / Devotional

Destroyed me. Job seems to compare himself to a city, the walls of which are attacked on every side, and broken down.

Removed like a tree. Or, “torn up like a tree.” Job’s hope was to lead a tranquil and godly life, surrounded by his relatives and friends, until old age should come and he might descend in mature dignity to the grave. This hope had been torn up by the roots when his calamities came upon him.
