Job 33:10 - Exposition

Behold, he findeth occasions against me . This charge may perhaps be justified by reference to Job's complaints in Job 7:17-19 and Job 10:3-6 ; but the exact words are not Job's. He counteth me for his enemy . Certainly, Job had said this more than ones (see Job 16:9 ; Job 19:1-29 . l 1). But he cannot really have believed it, or his trust in God must have failed. The fact that to the last he clung to God, appealed to him, hoped to receive judgment from him ( Job 31:2 , Job 31:6 , Job 31:28 , Job 31:35-37 ), is proof sufficient that he knew God was not really alienated from him, but would in the end acknowledge him and vindicate his character.
