Job, taking liberty of complaint, expostulates with God about his afflictions18. He complains of life, and craves a little ease before death Yet You concealed these things in Your heart This phrase reflects Job's struggle with understanding God's hidden purposes. In the biblical context, God's ways and thoughts are often depicted as beyond human comprehension (Isaiah 55:8-9). The heart, in ancient Near Eastern culture, was considered the seat of thought and intention, not just emotion. Job is expressing his frustration with the divine mystery, a theme that runs throughout the book.

This was the purpose He had hidden in His heart.Verse 13. - And these things hast thou hid in thine heart; rather, get these things didst thou hide in thine heart; i.e. "Yet all the while, notwithstanding thy protecting care and gracious favour, thou wert hiding in thy heart the intention to bring all these evils upon me; thou couldst not but have known what thou wert about to do, though thou didst conceal thy intention, and allow no sign of it to escape thee." I know that this is with thee; rather, I know that this was with thee; i.e. this intention to destroy my happiness was "with thee" - present to thy thought - even while thou wert loading me with favour. Job's statement cannot be gainsaid; but it involves no real charge against God, who assigns men prosperity or suffering as is best for them at the time. Parallel Commentaries ...
