“Thou puttest my feet also in the stocks, and lookest narrowly unto all my paths; thou settest a print upon the heels of my feet.”
"You put my feet in the stocks and watch all my paths; you set a mark on the soles of my feet." Job describes himself as prisoner—stocks confine him, his every movement is monitored, his identity is marked. The image suggests total restraint and surveillance, a imprisonment both physical and psychological. God is the jailer, and Job is helpless within this confinement.
