Job 9:18
Douay-Rheims
He alloweth not my spirit to rest, and he filleth me with bitterness.
John Chrysostom
"He will not let me catch my breath." That is, I am filled with a multitude of afflictions. "He has filled me with bitterness, for indeed he is superior in power. Who, then, shall resist his judgment?" Job does not want to say simply that God is superior to him in power but also that God is able to do whatever he wants.
