Matthew Poole and continuators on Job 10:17

17. Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, and encreasest thy indignation upon me; changes and war are against me.

i. e. Thy judgments, which are the Witnesses and Evidences both of my sins, and of thy wrath.

i. e. My miseries the effects of thine anger. These words are added to explain what he meant by renewing witnesses.

Or, changes and an army; which may be a Figure called Hendiadis, for the changes of an army; i. e. many miseries succeeding one another, like Companies of the Souldiers of an Army in Battel: Or changes may note the various kinds, and an army the great numbers of his Afflictions.
