Commentary on Job 10:13 (Summary)

Job 10:13 (ESV)

13 Yet these things you hid in your heart; I know that this was your purpose.

When Job compares God’s care for him in the past to God’s dealings with him in the present, he is left with only one conclusion: God had always been his enemy. The problem, says Job, is that God had been hiding his true intentions behind a mask of friendship.
