Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 19. - How long wilt thou not depart from me? rather, Wilt thou not look away from me? (see the Revised Version). Job does not go so far as to ask that God should "depart from" him. He knows, doubtless, that that would be the extreme of calamity. But he would have God sometimes turn away his eyes from him, and not always regard him so intently. There is something of the same tone of complaint in the psalmist's utterance., "Thou art about my path, and about my bed, and spiest out all my ways" (Psalm 139:3, Prayer-book Version). Nor let me alone till I swallow down my spittle? Even, i.e., for the shortest space of time passible. A proverbial expression.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(19) Till I swallow down my spittle.--This is doubtless a proverbial expression, like "the twinkling of an eye," or "while I fetch a breath."
