Commentary on Job 13:28
Job describes God's marking of boundaries he cannot cross: 'Thou settest a print upon the heels of my feet.' The imagery suggests God has drawn a circle around Job, limiting where he can go. This develops the stocks metaphor—Job is confined, unable to escape his suffering. Yet theologically, this also points to divine sovereignty setting boundaries for suffering (as seen in Job 1-2, where God limited Satan's actions). Though Job doesn't see it, God's boundaries protect even in suffering.
