Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Job 13:28

_ _ Job speaks of himself in the third person, thus forming the transition to the general lot of man (Job 14:1; Psalms 39:11; Hosea 5:12).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Job 13:23-28.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Job 13:28

He — He speaks of himself in the third person, as is usual in this and other sacred books. So the sense is, he, this poor frail creature, this body of mine; which possibly he pointed at with his finger, consumeth or pineth away.
