Compare all

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.

31 My harp is turned to mourning,
And my flute to the voice of those who weep.

Barnes' Notes

<< Job 30:29

Job 30:31 >>

My skin is black upon me; - see Job 30:28. It had become black by the force of the disease.

My bones are burnt with heat - The bones, in the Scriptures, are often represented as the seat of pain. The disease of Job seems to have pervaded the whole body. If it was the elephantiasis (see the notes at Job 2:7-8), these effects would be naturally produced.
