He incites Job to attention He puts my feet in the stocks; This phrase reflects the imagery of confinement and restriction, often used in ancient times as a form of punishment or control. Stocks were wooden devices that restrained a person's feet, symbolizing a lack of freedom and the experience of suffering. In the context of Job, this imagery conveys a sense of being trapped or unjustly punished by God. The use of stocks can be seen in other biblical passages, such as Jeremiah 20:2, where the prophet Jeremiah is placed in the stocks for his prophecies. This metaphor highlights Job's feeling of being unjustly restrained by divine actions, reflecting his struggle with understanding his suffering. He watches over all my paths.
