This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
I am not wicked, i.e. a hypocrite, or an ungodly man, as my friends account me; and therefore deal not with me as such.
There is none that can deliver out of thine hand: the sense is, either,
1. Thou dost not need to keep me fast in thy prison, lest I should make an escape, or any should rescue me out of thy hands, which none can do; therefore take off thy hand from me. Or,
2. If thou dost not help and deliver me, none else can do it; therefore do not thou fail me; which, considering God’s merciful nature, is a good argument. If any man oppress another, he may have relief from thee, who art higher than his oppressor, Ecc_5:8; but thou art the supreme and uncontrollable Ruler of the world, and therefore thou must needs do right, Gen_18:25; and therefore do not thou oppress me. See Poole "Job_10:3". above, Job_10:4.
