Job 6:4
_ _ arrows ... within me — have pierced me. A poetic image representing the avenging Almighty armed with bow and arrows (Psalms 38:2, Psalms 38:3). Here the arrows are poisoned. Peculiarly appropriate, in reference to the burning pains which penetrated, like poison, into the inmost parts — (“spirit”; as contrasted with mere surface flesh wounds) of Job’s body.
_ _ set themselves in array — a military image (Judges 20:33). All the terrors which the divine wrath can muster are set in array against me (Isaiah 42:13). |
Job 6:4
Arrows — So he fitly calls his afflictions, because, like arrows, they came upon him swiftly and suddenly one after another, immediately shot by God into his spirit. Poison — Implying that these arrows were more keen than ordinary, being dipped in God's wrath, as the barbarous nations used to dip their arrows in poison, that they might not only pierce, but burn up and consume the vital parts. Drinketh — Exhausteth and consumeth my soul. In array — They are like a numerous army, who invade me on every side. This was the sorest part of his calamity, wherein he was an eminent type of Christ, who complained most of the sufferings of his soul. Now is my soul troubled. My soul is exceeding sorrowful. My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? Indeed trouble of mind is the sorest trouble. A wounded spirit who can bear. |

For the arrows of the Almighty [are] within me, the poison whereof drinketh up my spirit: the terrors of God do (c) set themselves in array against me.
