Charles Ellicott Commentary Job 16:8

"And thou hast laid fast hold on me, [which] is a witness [against me]: And my leanness riseth up against me, It testifieth to my face." — Job 16:8 (ASV)

Witness against me. —As in Job 10:17. The wrinkles in his body, caused by the disease, were a witness against him; and certainly, in the eyes of his friends, they provided unquestionable proof of his guilt.
