Matthew Poole and continuators on Job 30:20

20. I cry unto thee, and thou dost not hear me : I stand up , and thou regardest me not .

To wit, so as to answer or help me.

Or, I stand, to wit. before thee, i. e. I pray, as this phrase signifies, Ier. 15. 1. & 18. 20. this being a gesture of Prayer, Mat. 6. 5. And so the same thing is here repeated in other words after the manner: Or, I persist, or persevere in praying; I pray importunately and continually, as thou requirest.

so the Particle not is supplied out of the former Clause. Or, without the Negation, thou knowest or observest me, and all my Griefs and Cries, and yet doest not pity nor help me, but rather takest pleasure in the contemplation of my Calamities, as the following words imply. Or it may be taken Interrogatively, Dost thou regard me? i. e. thou doest not.
