Commentary on Job 19:6

Theological / Devotional

God hath overthrown. Not only was Job a victim of the misunderstanding of his friends; he felt that he was also the victim of God’s wrath. Bildad had made much of the snares, traps, and nets that are laid for the wicked (ch. 18:7-12). Bildad insinuated that Job had fallen into snares that he himself had laid. Job replies that the net in which he is entangled is from God.
