Contextual Overview

8 He hath hedged vp my way that I can not passe, and he hath set darkenesse in my pathes. 9 He hath spoyled me of myne honour, and taken the crowne away from my head. 10 He hath destroyed me on euery side and I am gone: my hope hath he taken away as a tree pluckt vp by the roote. 11 His wrath is kindled against me, he taketh me as though I were his enemie. 12 His men of warre come together, which made their way ouer me, and besieged my dwelling rounde about. 13 He hath put my brethren farre away from me, and myne acquaintaunce are also become straungers vnto me. 14 Myne owne kinsefolkes haue forsaken me, and my best acquainted haue forgotten me. 15 The seruauntes and maydens of myne owne house toke me for a straunger, and I am become as an aliaunt in their sight. 16 I called my seruaunt, and he gaue me no aunswere: [no though] I prayed him with my mouth. 17 Myne owne wyfe might not abyde my breath, though I prayed her for the children sake of myne owne body.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Yea, young children despised me,.... Having related what he met with within doors from those in his own house, the strangers and proselytes in it, his maidens and menservants, and even from his own wife, he proceeds to give an account of what befell him without; young children, who had learned of their parents, having observed them to treat him with contempt, mocked and scoffed at him, and said, there sits old Job, that nasty creature, with his boils and ulcers; or using some such contemptuous expression, as "wicked man"; so some translate the word k; he was scorned and condemned by profane persons, who might tease him with his religion, and ask, where was his God? and bid him observe the effect and issue of his piety and strict course of living, and see what it was all come to, or what were the fruits of it: the Vulgate Latin version renders it "fools", that is, not idiots, but such as are so in a moral sense, and so signifies as before; and as these make mock at sin, and a jest of religion, it is no wonder that they despised good men: the word is rendered by a learned man l, the "most needy clients", who were dependent on him, and were supported by him; but this coincides with Job 19:15;

I arose, and they spoke against me: he got up from his seat, either to go about his business, and do what he had to do; and they spoke against him as he went along, and followed him with their reproaches, as children will go after persons in a body they make sport of; or he rose up in a condescending manner to them, when they ought to have rose up to him, and reverenced and honoured him; and this he did to win upon them, and gain their good will and respect; or to admonish them, chastise and correct them, for their insolence and disrespect to him; but it signified nothing, they went on calling him names, and speaking evil against him, and loading him with scoffs and reproaches.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Yea, young children - Margin, or “the wicked.” This difference between the text and the margin arises from the ambiguity of the original word - עוילים ăvı̂ylı̂ym. The word עויל ăvı̂yl (whence our word “evil”) means sometimes the wicked, or the ungodly, as in Job 16:11. It may also mean a child, or suckling, (from עוּל ûl - to give milk, to suckle, 1 Samuel 7:7-10; Genesis 22:13 : Ps. 77:71; Isaiah 40:11; compare Isaiah 49:15; Isaiah 65:20,) and is doubtless used in this sense here. Jerome, however, renders it “stulti - fools.” The Septuagint, strangely enough, “They renounced me forever.” Dr. Good renders it, “Even the dependents.” So Schultens, Etiam clientes egentissimi - “even the most needy clients.” But the reference is probably to children who are represented as withholding from him the respect which was due to age.

I arose, and they spake against me - “When I rise up, instead of regarding and treating me with respect, they make me an object of contempt and sport.” Compare the account of the respect which had formerly been shown him in Job 29:8.
