Charles Ellicott Commentary
"Is it not that I have no help in me, And that wisdom is driven quite from me?" — Job 6:13 (ASV)
Is not my help in me? — It is in passages such as these that the actual meaning of Job is so obscure and his words so difficult. The sense may be, “Is it not that I have no help in me, and wisdom is driven quite from me?” or yet again, “Is it because there is no help in me that therefore wisdom is driven far from me?” as is the case because of your reproaches and insinuations. (Job 5:27.)
