Matthew Poole and continuators on Job 6:22

22. Did I say , Bring unto me ? or, give a reward for me of your substance?

Or, Is it because I said, Is this, or what else is the reason why you are afraid of me or alienated from me.

Give me something for my support or relief. Did either my former covetousness or my present necessity make me troublesome or chargeable to you?

Either to the Judge before whom I am brought and accused, that he may give a favourable sentence in my behalf: Or to the enemy who hath taken me captive. Or give a gift for me, i. e. for my use or need. Did I send for you to come and visit me for this end! Nay, did you not come of your own accord? Why then are you thus unmerciful to me! Methinks you might at least have given me good and comfortable words, which is the easiest and cheapest part of a friends work, when I desire and expected nothing else from you.
