Job 30:27,28 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

My bowels boiled Namely, with the violence of my disorder; and rested not Hebrew, ולא דמו, velo damu, and were not silent. The days of affliction prevented me Came upon me suddenly and unexpectedly, when I promised myself peace and prosperity. I went mourning without the sun Hebrew, קדר הלכתי, koder hillacti, I walked black, not by the sun. My very countenance became black, but not by the sun, which makes many other persons black, but by the force of my disease. I stood up, I cried in the congregation I was not able to lie still, nor to refrain from cries in the greatest assemblies.
