Contextual Overview

8 But you said in my hearing, and your voice came to my ears: 9 I am clean, without sin; I am washed, and there is no evil in me: 10 See, he is looking for something against me; in his eyes I am as one of his haters; 11 He puts chains on my feet; he is watching all my ways. 12 Truly, in saying this you are wrong; for God is greater than man. 13 Why do you put forward your cause against him, saying, He gives no answer to any of my words?

Gill's Notes on the Bible

He putteth my feet in the stocks,.... This also he had said,

Job 13:27; by which he would suggest not only that his afflictions were painful and disgraceful, and from which he could not extricate himself, being close fettered by them; but that they were inflicted on him as punishments, and he was treated as a criminal, as a malefactor, who had been guilty of some notorious breach of the law:

he marketh all my paths; looked narrowly at them, numbered and counted them; this also he had said, Job 13:27; meaning not only his natural and civil paths and steps, but his moral ones, that he could not step the least awry, but presently it was marked and observed, Job 10:14; but though God does take notice of the sins of his people, and chastises them for them, yet he does not mark them in strict justice, for, should he, they could not stand before him,

Psalms 130:3.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

He putteth my feet in the stocks - This also is language which Job had used; see Job 13:27. “He marketh all my paths;” in Job 13:27, “Thou lookest narrowly unto all my paths;” see the notes at that verse.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Job 33:11. He putteth my feet in the stocksJob 13:27.
