11 clothe me with skin and flesh and knit me together with bones and sinews?
11 You clothed me with skin and flesh, and knit me together with bones and sinews.
11 What a miracle of skin and bone, muscle and brain!
11 Clothe me with skin and flesh, And knit me together with bones and sinews?
11 You clothed me with skin and flesh, and you knit my bones and sinews together.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Job 10:11
Commentary on Job 10:8-13
(Read Job 10:8-13)
Job seems to argue with God, as if he only formed and preserved him for misery. God made us, not we ourselves. How sad that those bodies should be instruments of unrighteousness, which are capable of being temples of the Holy Ghost! But the soul is the life, the soul is the man, and this is the gift of God. If we plead with ourselves as an inducement to duty, God made me and maintains me, we may plead as an argument for mercy, Thou hast made me, do thou new-make me; I am thine, save me.
