When. — This is unnecessary. With judgments for sin Thou chastenest a man.
Rebukes. — The word rendered “reproofs” in Psalms 38:14, where see Note.
Beauty. — Literally, Something desirable. (See margin.) Thou, like a moth (consuming a garment: see Pr. Bk. Version), causest his desirable things to melt. (For the image, singularly apt. and natural in a country where “changes of raiment” were so prized, and hoarded up as wealth, comp. Job 13:28; Matthew 6:19; James 5:2.)
