Charles Ellicott Commentary Job 10:16

"And if [my head] exalt itself, thou huntest me as a lion; And again thou showest thyself marvellous upon me." — Job 10:16 (ASV)

For it increaseth. —This verse is very obscure. Some understand it as follows: “But is it so glorious a thing that You should hunt me like a fierce lion, and then again show Yourself mysterious and wonderful towards me? hunting me like a lion, and yet hiding alike Your person and Your motive from me?” Or the subject is the head of the former verse, “And if it exalts itself, Thou huntest me,” etc. Or again, as in the Authorised Version, the subject is the affliction, “For it increaseth: Thou huntest me,” etc.
