He incites Job to attention He puts my feet in the stocks This phrase evokes a vivid image of confinement and restriction. In the ancient Near Eastern context, stocks were a form of punishment and restraint, often used to immobilize prisoners. The Hebrew word for "stocks" here is "סַד" (sad), which refers to a device that clamps the feet, symbolizing a lack of freedom and the imposition of suffering.
