This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Surely, etc. - The form is that of an oath or strongest assertion. Submission is denoted by the figure of a weaned child. As the child weaned by his mother from the breast, so I still the motions of pride in me (Mat 18:3, Mat 18:4; Isa 11:8; Isa 28:9). Hebrew children were often not weaned till three years old.
soul - may be taken for desire, which gives a more definite sense, though one included in the idea conveyed by the usual meaning, myself.
