Commentary on Job 19:22

Theological / Devotional

Persecute me. Why have you persecuted me without giving any reason for it? Why have you accused me of crimes I did not commit?

Satisfied with my flesh. An Oriental idiom meaning “Why are you always slandering me?” In Dan. 3:8 the word translated “accused” is literally, “ate fragments of.” The slanderer, the accuser, is figuratively pictured as devouring the flesh of his victim.
