This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
young children - So the Hebrew means (Job 21:11). Reverence for age is a chief duty in the East. The word means “wicked” (Job 16:11). So Umbreit has it here, not so well.
I arose - Rather, supply “if,” as Job was no more in a state to stand up. “If I stood up (arose), they would speak against (abuse) me” [Umbreit].
