Job 17:7 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

By reason of sorrow; through excessive weeping and decay of spirits, which cause a dimness in the sight. All my members are as a shadow; my body is so consumed, and my colour so wan and ghastly, that I look more like a ghost, or a shadow, than like a man.

Job 17:7

7 Mine eye also is dim by reason of sorrow, and all my membersd are as a shadow.
