In the context of the Book of Job, Job is expressing his anguish over the continuous and seemingly unending trials he faces. The imagery of being "broken" suggests a complete and utter devastation, both physically and emotionally. This can be compared to the trials faced by other biblical figures, such as Joseph, who endured betrayal and imprisonment before his eventual rise to power (Genesis 37-50). The repetition of "wound upon wound" emphasizes the intensity and accumulation of Job's suffering, akin to the relentless nature of trials described in <a href="/psalms/42-7.htm">Psalm 42:7</a>, "Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls; all your waves and breakers have swept over me."<p><b>He rushes me like a mighty warrior.</b><br>Here, Job likens his suffering to an attack by a powerful and unstoppable force. The imagery of a "mighty warrior" suggests an overwhelming and aggressive assault, which can be seen as a metaphor for the spiritual and existential battles that believers face. This phrase can be connected to the concept of God as a warrior, as seen in <a href="/exodus/15-3.htm">Exodus 15:3</a>, "The LORD is a warrior; the LORD is his name." However, in Job's lament, the warrior imagery is inverted to express his feeling of being besieged by God Himself. This reflects the cultural understanding of warfare in the ancient Near East, where battles were often brutal and decisive. The sense of being overwhelmed by a divine force can also be seen in the prophetic writings, such as <a href="/isaiah/42-13.htm">Isaiah 42:13</a>, where God is described as a warrior who will prevail against His enemies. In the New Testament, this can be seen as a type of Christ, who, though He suffered, ultimately triumphed over sin and death, offering hope and redemption to believers (<a href="/colossians/2-15.htm">Colossians 2:15</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/job.htm">Job</a></b><br>The central figure in the Book of Job, a man of great faith and integrity who undergoes severe trials and suffering.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/g/god.htm">God</a></b><br>The sovereign deity who allows Job's trials, testing his faith and righteousness.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/j/job's_friends.htm">Job's Friends</a></b><br>Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar, who attempt to explain Job's suffering through traditional wisdom but fail to understand God's purpose.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/s/satan.htm">Satan</a></b><br>The adversary who challenges Job's righteousness, initiating the trials with God's permission.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/u/uz.htm">Uz</a></b><br>The land where Job lived, often associated with the region east of Israel.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/u/understanding_suffering.htm">Understanding Suffering</a></b><br>Recognize that suffering is a complex part of the human experience and can serve a greater purpose in God's plan.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_sovereignty.htm">God's Sovereignty</a></b><br>Trust in God's sovereignty, even when His actions or inactions are beyond our understanding.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/p/perseverance_in_faith.htm">Perseverance in Faith</a></b><br>Like Job, maintain faith and integrity in the face of trials, knowing that God is ultimately just and compassionate.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/e/empathy_and_support.htm">Empathy and Support</a></b><br>Learn from Job's friends' mistakes by offering genuine empathy and support to those who are suffering, rather than judgment.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/s/spiritual_warfare.htm">Spiritual Warfare</a></b><br>Acknowledge the spiritual dimension of suffering, where trials can be a battleground for faith and righteousness.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_job_16.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Job 16</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/why_did_god_send_saul_an_evil_spirit.htm">Why did God send an evil spirit to Saul?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/does_job_14_1-2_conflict_with_promises.htm">Does Job 14:1-2's portrayal of life as short and full of trouble conflict with biblical passages that promise long life and blessings?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/does_job_14_12_contradict_resurrection.htm">When Job 14:12 says the dead 'do not rise,' does this contradict later scriptures affirming an immediate afterlife or resurrection?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what_is_physical_trauma.htm">What is physical trauma?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/job/16.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 14.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">He breaketh me with breach upon breach</span>.
