Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Job 7:5

_ _ In elephantiasis maggots are bred in the sores (Acts 12:23; Isaiah 14:11).

_ _ clods of dust — rather, a crust of dried filth and accumulated corruption (Job 2:7, Job 2:8).

_ _ my skin is broken and ... loathsome — rather, comes together so as to heal up, and again breaks out with running matter [Gesenius]. More simply the Hebrew is, “My skin rests (for a time) and (again) melts away” (Psalms 58:7).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Job 7:1-6.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Job 7:5

Worms — Which were bred out of Job's corrupted flesh and sores. Dust — The dust of the earth upon which he lay. Broken — By ulcers in all parts of it.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes
