⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
Job is telling his friends that they have repeatedly hurt him with their accusations and have shown no shame in treating him coldly.
📚 Historical Context
Job was speaking to his three friends - Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar - who had come to comfort him after he lost everything. Instead of offering comfort, they kept accusing him of hidden sins and suggesting his suffering was his own fault. The phrase 'ten times' was a common Hebrew expression meaning 'many times' or 'repeatedly.'
