Notes
When I think about what I am saying: Job felt upset about his horrible task of complaining against God and talking about his terrors (13:3, 15–16, 22; 23:1–5; 6:4; 27:20; 30:15).
my body trembles: This reaction is similar to that of the prophets Habakkuk, Ezekiel, and Daniel (Habakkuk 1:5; 3:16; Ezekiel 3:14; Daniel 8:27; 10:8–9).
