Book ◦ Chapter

His anger burns against me
In this phrase, Job expresses his perception of God's wrath directed towards him. This reflects Job's deep anguish and confusion, as he feels unjustly targeted by divine anger. In the broader biblical context, God's anger is often associated with judgment against sin (e.g.,Deuteronomy 9:8,Psalm 7:11). However, Job is described as a blameless and upright man (Job 1:1), which adds complexity to his suffering. This tension highlights the theme of the righteous suffering and the mystery of God's ways, which is a central theme in the Book of Job. Theologically, this can be seen as a foreshadowing of Christ, who also experienced the wrath of God on behalf of humanity, despite being sinless (Isaiah 53:4-5,2 Corinthians 5:21).

and He counts me among His enemies
Job feels alienated from God, as if he has been placed in the category of those who oppose Him. This sentiment is echoed in other parts of Scripture where individuals feel abandoned or opposed by God (e.g.,Psalm 13:1,Lamentations 3:1-18). Historically, being considered an enemy of God would imply being subject to His judgment and wrath, as seen in the fate of nations and individuals who opposed Israel (e.g.,Exodus 15:6-7,Nahum 1:2). Culturally, this reflects the ancient Near Eastern understanding of divine retribution. In a typological sense, Job's experience can be seen as a precursor to Christ's own experience on the cross, where He was treated as an enemy of God for the sake of humanity's redemption (Romans 5:10,Colossians 1:21-22).

Understanding God's Sovereignty

The Reality of Suffering

Faith Amidst Trials

The Importance of Lament

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 11. -He hath also kindled his wrath against me. It is not what has happened to him in the way of affliction and calamity that so much oppresses and crushes the patriarch, as thecause to which he, not unnaturally, ascribes his afflictions, vie. the wrath of God. Participating in the general creed of his time, he believes his sufferings to come direct from God, and to be proofs of God's severe anger against him. He is not, however, prepared on this account to renounce God. "Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him" (Job 13:15) is still his inward sustaining thought and guiding principle.And he counteth me unto him as one of his enemies. Job felt himself treated as an enemy of God, and supposed that God must consider him such. He either had no glimpse of the cheering truth, "Whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth" (Hebrews 12:6), or he could not imagine that such woes as his were mere chastenings.
