job 19:10 He hath destroyed me on every side, and I am gone: and mine hope hath he removed like a tree.

job 19:10 "He breaks me down on every side, and I am gone; And He has uprooted my hope like a tree.

10. destroyed . . . on every side--"Shaken all round, so that I fall in the dust"; image from a tree uprooted by violent shaking from every side [UMBREIT]. The last clause accords with this (Jer 1:10)
mine hope--as to this life (in opposition to Zophar, Job 11:18); not as to the world to come (Job 19:25; Job 14:15).
removed--uprooted.

job 19:10 "He breaks me down on every side, and I am gone; And He has uprooted my hope like a tree.
