Vers. 14. He breaketh me with breach upon breach, and runneth on me like a Giant.
Job varies into all manner of inventions and allusions,1 to set forth both the constancy and extremity of his afflictions. As before he compared himself to a mark, against which Arrows are shot; so now to a Stone wall, or fortified Tower, against which, battering Rams of old, and Cannons in latter ages, are usually planted to make a breach, that the Soldiery may come up to the assault.
