Job 9:17 Context
15Whom, though I were righteous, yet would I not answere, but I would make supplication to my Iudge. 16If I had called, and had answered me, yet would I not beleeue that he had hearkened vnto my voice: 17For he breaketh me with a tempest, and multiplieth my wounds without cause. 18Hee will not suffer me to take my breath, but filleth me with bitternesse. 19If I speake of strength, loe, hee is strong: and if of iudgement, who shall set me a time to pleade?

Wesley's Notes for Job 9:17
9:17 Breaketh - Unexpectedly, violently, and irrecoverably. Cause - Not simply without any desert of his, but without any special cause of such singular afflictions; and peculiar and extraordinary guilt, such as his friends charged him with.
