Job 3:24 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

Before, &c. — Heb. before the face of my bread, all the time I am eating, I fall into sighing and weeping, because I am obliged to eat, and to support this wretched life, and because of my uninterrupted pains of body and of mind, which do not afford me one quiet moment. Roarings — My loud outcries, more befitting a lion than a man. Poured out — With great abundance, and irresistible violence, and incessant continuance, as waters flow in a river, or as they break the banks, and overflow the ground.

Job 3:24

24 For my sighing cometh before I eat,f and my roarings are poured out like the waters.
