Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Job 13:26

_ _ writest — a judicial phrase, to note down the determined punishment. The sentence of the condemned used to be written down (Isaiah 10:1; Jeremiah 22:30; Psalms 149:9) [Umbreit].

_ _ bitter things — bitter punishments.

_ _ makest me to possess — or “inherit.” In old age he receives possession of the inheritance of sin thoughtlessly acquired in youth. “To inherit sins” is to inherit the punishments inseparably connected with them in Hebrew ideas (Psalms 25:7).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Job 13:23-28.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Job 13:26

Writest — Thou appointest or inflictest. A metaphor from princes or judges, who anciently used to write their sentences.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Job 13:26

For thou writest bitter things against me, and makest me to possess (m) the iniquities of my youth.

(m) You punish me now for the sins that I committed in my youth.
