Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Job 10:17

_ _ witnesses — His accumulated trials were like a succession of witnesses brought up in proof of his guilt, to wear out the accused.

_ _ changes and war — rather, “(thou settest in array) against me host after host” (literally, “changes and a host,” that is, a succession of hosts); namely, his afflictions, and then reproach upon reproach from his friends.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Job 10:14-22.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Job 10:17

Witnesses — Thy judgments, which are the evidences both of my sins, and of thy wrath. Indignation — My miseries are the effects of thine anger. Army — Changes may denote the various kinds, and an army the great number of his afflictions.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, and increasest thine indignation upon me; (r) changes and war [are] against me.
