Commentary on Job 19:2

Theological / Devotional

Vex my soul. Job is no stoic. He is not insensible to his friends’ attacks. On the contrary, their words sting him, torture him, wound his soul. Bildad’s attack has been the cruelest of all. Job’s reply indicates how deeply affected he really is. Bildad had asked how long it would be before Job would make an end of talking (ch. 18:2). Job counters by asking Bildad how long he will continue to hurt him.
