Commentary on Job 3:23
Job describes himself as one 'whose way is hid' and whom 'God hath hedged in.' The imagery of God's hedge appears earlier as protection (1:10), but now Job experiences it as confinement. This paradox captures the mystery of divine providence - the same God who protects can also perplex.
