# God has torn me in his wrath and persecuted me ... as he tears me apart
This speaks of God causing Job pain as if God were a wild animal and Job were his prey that he was killing. Alternate translation: "Because God is very angry with me, it is as though he were a wild animal that tore my body apart with his teeth because he was my enemy" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
# my enemy

# fastens his eyes on me
This is an idiom. Alternate translation: "glares at me" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-idiom]])
