Job 17:5 Since vv. 1–4 are likely addressed to God, in v. 5 Job may be asking God to remember what his friends have done, or he may be warning the friends of the consequences of such actions, or both. Verse 5 may be quoting a proverb of the day, similar to other warnings in the OT against being a false witness (see Deut. 19:18–19; Prov. 19:5).
Job 17:7 all my members. Job’s entire body is exhausted from grief and pain. Compare 16:7–16.
Job 17:10–16 In both lines of v. 12, Job appears to refer to the viewpoint of his friends. They have said that if Job would simply repent, God will restore him and turn his night into day (see 5:17–27; 8:5–7; 11:13–20). However, Job argues that accepting that way of thinking would be to make his bed in darkness (17:13). It would mean denying that God is both sovereign and just (and thus knows the truth). Job continues to hope (v. 15) that God will vindicate him.
