Job 17:7 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

Mine eye also is dim by reason of sorrow, and all my members are as a shadow. Mine eye also is dim - Continual weeping impairs the sight; and indeed any affliction that debilitates the frame generally weakens the sight in the same proportion.

All my members are as a shadow - Nothing is left but skin and bone. I am but the shadow of my former self.

Job 17:7

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