Job 16:10 - Exposition

They have gaped upon me with their mouth . The "man of sorrows" of the Old Testament is, in many respects, a type of the "Man of sorrows" of the New; and, in the Messianic psalms, David constantly applies to Christ expressions which Job had used in reference to himself (see Psalms 22:13 ). They have smitten me upon the cheek reproachfully (comp. Micah 5:1 ; Matthew 27:30 ; Luke 22:64 ; John 18:22 ). They have gathered themselves together against me (see Psalms 35:15 , and compare, in illustration of the literal and historical sense, Job 30:1 , Job 30:10-14 ).
