The Pulpit Commentary on Job 23:15

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

Therefore am I troubled at his presence. The thought of these further afflictions troubles me, and makes me shrink from his unseen presence. I know.not how soon he may lay a fresh burden upon me. When I consider, I am afraid of him.

When I reflect on the many forms of suffering which I may still have to undergo, my fears increase, I tremble at the future.
