Job 19:6

“Know now that God hath overthrown me, etc.] He would have them take notice that all his afflictions were from the hand of God; and therefore should take care to what they imputed any acts of his, whose ways are unsearchable, and the reasons of them not to be found out; and therefore, if a wrong construction should be put upon them, which may be easily done by weak sighted men, it must be displeasing to him.

And hath compassed me with his net - Has sprung his net upon me as a hunter does, and I am caught. Perhaps there may be an allusion here to what Bildad said…”

“God: Job 7:20, Job 16:11-14; Psa 44:9-14, Psa 66:10-12 compassed: Job 18:8-10; Lam 1:12, Lam 1:13; Eze 12:13, Eze 32:3; Hos 7:12 Job 19:7”
