References for Job 13:11 —  1   2 

Job 13:3–19 Before he turns to address his lament directly to God (13:20–14:22), Job argues that his friends have misdiagnosed him (worthless physicians; 13:4) and misrepresented God (vv. 7–10).

Job 13:4 you whitewash with lies. Job’s friends have tried to patch over his situation with statements they ought to know are not true about either Job or God.

Job 13:6–10 Using legal terminology, Job says his friends are showing favoritism to his divine opponent in making his case for him (v. 8).

Job 13:11 Will not his majesty terrify you? Job questions whether his friends have considered seriously the glory and power of God, as they speak so casually on his behalf.

Job 13:16 The salvation Job hopes for is that he will be able to make his case before God, and that God will be his redeemer (see 19:25).

Job 13:20 Only grant me two things. Job abruptly shifts from warning his friends to pleading his case with God.

Job 13:27 you set a limit for the soles of my feet. The symbolic language refers either to confinement (“set a limit for”) or to the tracking of movement (“marked”; see esv footnote). Both ideas express God’s vigilant pursuit of Job: the Lord restrains Job’s feet, and watches (marks) everywhere he goes.

Job 13:28–14:22 As his lament before God continues, Job moves from referring primarily to his own situation (13:20–27) to focusing on the nature of life for all people.
