Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Job 16:10

_ _ gaped — not in order to devour, but to mock him. To fill his cup of misery, the mockery of his friends (Job 16:10) is added to the hostile treatment from God (Job 16:9).

_ _ smitten ... cheek — figurative for contemptuous abuse (Lamentations 3:30; Matthew 5:39).

_ _ gathered themselves — “conspired unanimously” [Schuttens].

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Job 16:6-16.
