Job 17:7 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

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

(Psalms 6:7; Psalms 31:9; Deuteronomy 34:7).

Members - literally, figures; all the individual members being special forms of the body: opposed to "shadow," which looks like a figure, but has no solidity.

Job 17:7

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