Job 3:24
_ _ my sighing cometh before I eat — that is, prevents my eating [Umbreit]; or, conscious that the effort to eat brought on the disease, Job must sigh before eating [Rosenmuller]; or, sighing takes the place of good (Psalms 42:3) [Good]. But the first explanation accords best with the text.
_ _ my roarings are poured out like the waters — an image from the rushing sound of water streaming. |
Job 3:24
Before, &c. — Heb. before the face of my bread, all the time I am eating, I fall into sighing and weeping, because I am obliged to eat, and to support this wretched life, and because of my uninterrupted pains of body and of mind, which do not afford me one quiet moment. Roarings — My loud outcries, more befitting a lion than a man. Poured out — With great abundance, and irresistible violence, and incessant continuance, as waters flow in a river, or as they break the banks, and overflow the ground. |
