This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
liftest ... to wind - as a “leaf” or “stubble” (Job 13:25). The moving pillars of sand, raised by the wind to the clouds, as described by travelers, would happily depict Job’s agitated spirit, if it be to them that he alludes.
dissolvest ... substance - The marginal Hebrew reading (Keri), “my wealth,” or else “wisdom,” that is, sense and spirit, or “my hope of deliverance.” But the text (Chetib) is better: Thou dissolvest me (with fear, Exo 15:15) in the crash (of the whirlwind; see on Job 30:14) [Maurer]. Umbreit translates as a verb, “Thou terrifiest me.”
