SEV Biblia, Chapter 10:8
¶ Tus manos me formaron y me compusieron todo en contorno, ¿y así me deshaces?
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Job 10:8
Verse 8. Thine hands have made me ] Thou art well acquainted with human nature, for thou art its author. And fashioned me together round about ] All my powers and faculties have been planned and executed by thyself. It is thou who hast refined the materials out of which I have been formed, and modified them into that excellent symmetry and order in which they are now found; so that the union and harmony of the different parts, ( djy yachad,) and their arrangement and completion, ( bybs sabib,) proclaim equally thy wisdom, skill, power, and goodness.
Yet thou dost destroy me. ] yn[lbtw vatteballeeni, "and thou wilt swallow me up." Men generally care for and prize those works on which they have spent most time, skill, and pains: but, although thou hast formed me with such incredible skill and labour, yet thou art about to destroy me! How dreadful an evil must sin be, when, on its account, God has pronounced the sentence of death on all mankind; and that body, so curiously and skilfully formed, must be decomposed, and reduced to dust!
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 8-13 - Job seems to argue with God, as if he only formed and preserved him for misery. God made us, not we ourselves. How sad that those bodies shoul be instruments of unrighteousness, which are capable of being temple of the Holy Ghost! But the soul is the life, the soul is the man, an this is the gift of God. If we plead with ourselves as an inducement to duty, God made me and maintains me, we may plead as an argument for mercy, Thou hast made me, do thou new-make me; I am thine, save me.
