Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834]

Thou wilt surely wear away - From decay and exhaustion.

Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826
Thou wilt surely wear away - נבל תבל nabol tibbol, in wearing way, thou wilt wear away - by being thus continually employed, thou wilt soon become finally exhausted. And this people that is with thee; as if he had said, "Many of them are obliged to wait so long for the determination of their suit that their patience must be soon necessarily worn out, as there is no one to hear every cause but thyself."
