Job 16:15 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

i.e. I put on sackcloth sewed together, not upon my other garments, but next to my skin, as was done in great calamities; as 2 Kings 6:30. So far am I from stretching out my hands against God, whereof I am accused, Job 15:25, that I have humbled myself deeply under his hand. I have willingly parted with all my wealth, and power, and glory, (as the horn oft signifies in Scripture, as Psalms 75:5, Psalms 132:17 Luke 1:69) and been contented to lie in the dust, and to endure the contempt which God hath brought upon me.

Job 16:15

15 I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin, and defiled my horn in the dust.
