Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 17. - For he breaketh me with a tempest. "God" that is, "would not be likely patiently to hear my justification, and calmly to weigh it, when he is already overwhelming me with his wrath, breaking and crushing me (comp. Genesis 3:15, where the same word שׁוּפ is used) with a very storm of calamity." The sentiment can scarcely be justified, since it breathes something of a contamacious spirit. But this only shows that Job was not yet" made perfect through sufferings" (Hebrews 2:10). And multiplieth my wounds without cause. A further assertion, not of absolute sinlessness, but of comparative innocence - of the belief that he had done nothing to deserve such a terrible punishment as he is suffering (comp. Job 6:24, 29).

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(17) He breaketh me . . .--This is one of the three passages in which this word is found, the other two being Genesis 3:15, "It shall bruise," &c., and Psalm 139:11, "If I say the darkness shall cover me."
