Job 7:5 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Clothed, i.e. covered all over as with a garment. With worms; which oft breed and break forth in divers parts of living bodies, as history and experience witnesseth, and which were easily bred out of Job's corrupted flesh and sores. Clods of dust; either the dust of the earth upon which he lay, which his sores would quickly lick up; or the scabs of his sores, which by degrees mouldered away into dust. My skin is broken, by ulcers breaking forth in all parts of it.

Job 7:5

5 My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust; my skin is broken, and become loathsome.
