Charles Ellicott Commentary Job 10:17

"Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, And increasest thine indignation upon me: Changes and warfare are with me." — Job 10:17 (ASV)

You renew your witnesses against me. —Some understand this of the sores on Job’s person, which his friends regarded as witnesses—proofs of his guilt; but it seems more probable that the figure is forensic: “You still bring fresh witnesses against me, and multiply Your anger against me, so that relays of them, even a host, are against me; for they come upon me host after host—these witnesses of Your anger, the ministers of Your vengeance.”

The sublimity of this indictment against God is only equaled by the sense of terrific awe with which one reads it. The language is Job’s, and in that respect has the sanction of Holy Scripture; but we may surely learn from this the condescension as well as the loving-kindness of the Most High.
