Job, taking liberty of complaint, expostulates with God about his afflictions18. He complains of life, and craves a little ease before death (17) Thou renewest thy witnesses against me.--Some understand this of the sores on Job's person, which his friends regarded as witnesses--proofs of his guilt; but it seems more probable that the figure is forensic: "Thou still bringest fresh witnesses against me, and multipliest thine anger against me, so that relays of them, even a host, are against me; for they come upon me host after host--these witnesses of Thine anger, the ministers of Thy vengeance."
