Commentary on Job 16:10 (Summary)

Job 16:10 (ESV)

10 Men have gaped at me with their mouth; they have struck me insolently on the cheek; they mass themselves together against me.

Now that God has turned against Job, people assume that it is because of shameful sins in Job’s life. Therefore, they also turn against him, mocking him and even striking him on the cheek.
