This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
arrows ... within me - have pierced me. A poetic image representing the avenging Almighty armed with bow and arrows (Psa 38:2, Psa 38:3). Here the arrows are poisoned. Peculiarly appropriate, in reference to the burning pains which penetrated, like poison, into the inmost parts - (“spirit”; as contrasted with mere surface flesh wounds) of Job’s body.
set themselves in array - a military image (Jdg 20:33). All the terrors which the divine wrath can muster are set in array against me (Isa 42:13).
