Job10:7
7. Thou knowest that I am not wicked , and there is none that can deliver out of thine hand .
i. e. An Hypocrite, or an ungodly man, as my Friends account me; and therefore deal not with me as such.
The sense is, either 1. Thou dost not need to keep me fast in thy Prison, lest I should make an escape, or any should rescue me out of thy hands, which none can do; Therefore take off thy hand from me: Or, 2. If thou doest not help and deliver me, none else can do it; Therefore do not thou fail me▪ which considering God's merciful Nature, is a good Argument. If any man oppress another, he may have relief from thee, who art higher than his Oppressor, Eccles. 5. 8. But thou art the supreme and uncontrollable Ruler of the World, and therefore thou must needs do right, Gen. 18. 25. And therefore do not thou oppress me: See above Verse 3.
