Job 17:6

He hath made me] Render, 'I am made.' And aforetime, etc.] RV 'And I am become an open abhorring.'

8, 9. The upright, astonished at Job's calamities, will rise against the ungodly, while the righteous holds on his way with increasing strength. This does not fit in well with Job's attitude, so that there is plausibility in the view of some scholars that the vv. are a misplaced fragment of Bildad's speech.
