10 Did you not pour me out like milk and curdle me like cheese,
10 Hast thou not poured me out as milk, and curdled me like cheese?
10 Did you not pour me out like milk and curdle me like cheese?
10 Oh, that marvel of conception as you stirred together semen and ovum -
10 Did you not pour me out like milk, And curdle me like cheese,
10 You guided my conception and formed me in the womb.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Job 10:10
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.
