Commentaries on Job 19:3
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 3These ten times - The exact arithmetical number is not to be regarded; ten times being put for many times, as we have already seen.

Job was unconscious of wilful sin. remaineth--literally, "passeth the night." An image from harboring an unpleasant guest for the night. I bear the consequences.Read the comment
