Job 30:28

Compare all

26 ^aBut when I looked for good, evil came to me;
And when I waited for light, then came darkness.

27 ¹My heart is in turmoil and cannot rest;
Days of affliction confront me.

28 ^aI go about mourning, but not in the sun;
I stand up in the assembly and cry out for help.

29 ^aI am a brother of jackals,
And a companion of ostriches.

30 ^aMy skin grows black and falls from me;
^bMy bones burn with fever.

<< Job 30:27

Job 30:29 >>

I went mourning without the sun - chammah , which we here translate the sun, comes from a root of the same letters, which signifies to hide, protect, etc., and may be translated, I went mourning without a protector or guardian; or, the word may be derived from cham , to be hot, and here it may signify fury, rage, anger; and thus it was understood by the Vulgate: Maerens incedebam, sine furore , I went mourning without anger; or, as Calmet translates, Je marchois tout triste, mais sans me laisser aller a l' emportement ; "I walked in deep sadness, but did not give way to an angry spirit." The Syriac and Arabic understood it in the same way.
