This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
They opened their mouth wide against me; either,
1. To devour me. It is a metaphor taken from wild beasts, when they come within reach of their prey. Or;
2. To pour forth whole floods of scoffs, and slanders, and contumelies. Aha, aha; an expression of joy and triumph. See Poole "Job_39:25 Psa_40:15". Hath seen it, Heb. hath seen, to wit, what we have long desired and hoped for. See the same or like ellipsis Psa_54:7 59:10 112:8.
