Job19:11
Verſe 11. He hath alſo kindled his wrath againſt me.] Now if his wrath be kindled, yea but a little, woe be to all thoſe againſt whom it is bent. He will ſurely help miſchiefs upon them, he will ſpend his arrowes upon them, Deut. 32.22, 23. with Pſal. 2.12. Job felt them ſtriking in the ſides of his ſoul, even the invenomed arrowes of the Almighty; and yet this was only a Refiners fire, Mal. 3.2. or, if a conſuming fire, as Heb. 12.29. yet it was to waſte his corruptions only, to ſever the ſin which he hated from the Son whom he loved; to try and exerciſe his patience, &c. all which notwithſtanding, he complaineth heavily of theſe ſpunks and ſparks of divine diſpleaſure.
And counteth me unto him as one of his enemies.] Heb. As his enemies: not as a ſingle enemy, but a rabble of rebels, an Army of enemies, ſuch as ſhal one day meet at Armageddon, their Rendevouz. See chap. 13.24.
