Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Job 6:16

_ _ blackish — literally, “Go as a mourner in black clothing” (Psalms 34:14). A vivid and poetic image to picture the stream turbid and black with melted ice and snow, descending from the mountains into the valley. In the [second] clause, the snow dissolved is, in the poet’s view, “hid” in the flood [Umbreit].

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Job 6:14-21.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Job 6:16

Which — Which in winter when the traveller neither needs nor desires it, are full of water congealed by the frost. Snow — Under which the water from snow, which formerly fell, and afterward was dissolved, lies hid. So he speaks not of those brooks which are fed by a constant spring, but of them which are filled by accidental falls of water or snow.
