16:11 God hath delivered me to the ungodly, and turned me over into the {m} hands of the wicked.

(m) They have led me where they would.

16:11 The wicked - And thus Christ was delivered into wicked hands, by the determinate counsel of God.

16:6-16 Here is a doleful representation of Job's grievances. What reason we have to bless God, that we are not making such complaints! Even good men, when in great troubles, have much ado not to entertain hard thoughts of God. Eliphaz had represented Job as unhumbled under his affliction: No, says Job, I know better things; the dust is now the fittest place for me. In this he reminds us of Christ, who was a man of sorrows, and pronounced those blessed that mourn, for they shall be comforted.
