| occasions--for hostility; literally, "enmities" (Job 13:24; Job 16:9; Job 19:11; Job 30:21). |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
| Behold, he findeth occasions against me - That is, God. This is not exactly the language of Job, though much that he had said had seemed to imply this. The idea is, that God sought opportunity to oppose him; that he was desirous to find in him some ground or reason for punishing him; that he wished to be hostile to him, and was narrowly on the watch to find an opportunity which would justify his bringing calamity upon him. The word rendered "occasions" - תנואה tenû'âh, is from נוא nû', in the Hiphil, הניא hāniy' - to refuse, decline; to hinder, restrain, Num 30:6, Num 30:9,Num 30:12; and hence, the noun means, a holding back, a withdrawal, an alienation; and hence, the idea is, that God sought to be alienated from Job. The Vulgate renders it, "He seeks complaints (querales) against me." The Septuagint, μέμψιν mempsin - accusation. Umbreit, Feindshaft, enmity. So Gesenius and Noyes. "He counteth me for his enemy." This is language which Job had used; see Job 19:11. |

24 Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and holdest me for thine enemy?
11 He hath also kindled his wrath against me, and he counteth me unto him as one of his enemies.

9 But every vow of a widow, and of her that is divorced, wherewith they have bound their souls, shall stand against her.
6 And if she had at all an husband, when she vowed, or uttered ought out of her lips, wherewith she bound her soul;
