Commentaries:
Adam Clarke
All his days also he eateth in darkness - Even his enjoyments are embittered by uncertainty. He fears for his goods; the possibility of being deprived of them fills his heart with anguish. But instead of yochel , "he shall eat," yelech , "he shall walk," is the reading of several MSS. He walks in darkness - he has no evidence of salvation. There is no ray of light from God to penetrate the gloom; and all beyond life is darkness impenetrable!
And wrath with his sickness - His last hours are awful; for,
"Counting on long years of pleasure here,
He' s quite unfurnish' d for the world to come."
Blair.
He is full of anguish at the thought of death; but the fear of it is horrible. But if he have a sense of God' s wrath in his guilty conscience, what horror can be compared with his horror!
