Contextual Overview

8 But thou hast spoken in mine ears, and, the sound of words, I heard: - 9 Pure am, I, without transgression, - Clean am, I, and have no iniquity; 10 Lo! occasions of hostility, would he find against me, He counteth me an enemy to him; 11 He putteth - in the stocks - my feet, He watcheth all my paths. 12 Lo! in this, thou hast not been right - let me answer thee, For, GOD, is greater than, man. 13 Wherefore, against him, hast thou contended? For, with none of his reasons, will he respond.

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.
