Job 15:26 - Exposition

He runneth upon him, even on his neck ; rather, with his neck . It is not God who runneth upon the wicked man, as our translators seem to have supposed, but the wicked man who rushes furiously against God. Like an infuriated bull, he makes his charge with his neck , i.e. with head lowered and neck stiffened, thinking to carry all before him. Upon the thick bosses of his bucklers ; rather, with the thick bosses of his shield ' The metaphor of the bull is dropped, and God's enemy represented as charging him like a warrior, with the shield-arm outstretched, and the heavy bosses of the shield pressing him down.
