Clarke's Job 23:16 Bible Commentary

For God maketh my heart soft - Prostrates my strength, deprives me of courage, so that I sink beneath my burden, and I am troubled at the thought of the Almighty, the self-sufficient and eternal Being.

Barnes's Job 23:16 Bible Commentary

For God maketh my heart soft - That is, "faint." He takes away my strength; compare the notes at Isaiah 7:4. This effect was produced on Job by the contemplation of the eternal plan and the power of God.

Wesley's Job 23:16 Bible Commentary

23:16 Soft - He hath bruised, and broken, or melted it, so that I have no spirit in me.
