Commentary on Job 6:2

Theological / Devotional

Grief. Heb. ka‘as, literally, “vexation,” or “impatience.” Ka‘as is translated “wrath” in ch. 5:2. Eliphaz had criticized Job for his “vexation.” Job begins his defense by referring to this accusation.

Weighed. Job expresses the wish that balances might be provided and his vexation be placed over against his calamity. Bitter as his complaint had been, he felt that it was small compared with the distress that occasioned it.
