SEV Biblia, Chapter 10:10
¿No me fundiste como leche, y como un queso me cuajaste?
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Job 10:10
Verse 10. Hast thou not poured me out as milk ] After all that some learned men have said on this subject, in order to confine the images here to simple nutrition, I am satisfied that generation is the true notion. Respicit ad fetus in matris utero primam formationem, quum in embryonem ex utriusque parentis semine coalescit. - Exodus semine liquido, lac quodammodo referente, me formasti. - In interpretando, inquit Hieronymus, omnino his accedo qui de genitali semine accipiunt, quod ipsa tanquam natura emulget, ac dein concrescere in utero ad coalescere jubet. I make no apology for leaving this untranslated. The different expressions in this and the following verse are very appropriate: the pouring out like milk-coagulating, clothing with skin and flesh, fencing with bones and sinews, are well imagined, and delicately, and at the same time forcibly, expressed. If I believed that Job referred to nutrition, which I do not, I might speak of the chyle, the chylopoietic organs, the lacteal vessels, and the generation of all the solids and fluids from this substance, which itself is derived from the food taken into the stomach. But this process, properly speaking, does not take place till the human being is brought into the world, it being previously nourished by the mother by means of the funis umbilicus, without that action of the stomach by which the chyle is prepared.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 8-13 - Job seems to argue with God, as if he only formed and preserved him for misery. God made us, not we ourselves. How sad that those bodies shoul be instruments of unrighteousness, which are capable of being temple of the Holy Ghost! But the soul is the life, the soul is the man, an this is the gift of God. If we plead with ourselves as an inducement to duty, God made me and maintains me, we may plead as an argument for mercy, Thou hast made me, do thou new-make me; I am thine, save me.
