Jó 30:30

30 A minha pele enegrece e se me cai, e os meus ossos estão queimados do calor.

Jó 30:30 Meaning and Commentary

Job 30:30

My skin is black upon me
Either through deep melancholy, as may be observed in persons of such a disposition, through grief and trouble; or rather through the force of his disease, the burning ulcers and black scabs with which he was covered, as the Jews were through famine, in their captivity, ( Lamentations 4:8 ) ( 5:10 ) ;

and my bones are burnt with heat;
with the heat of a burning fever; which not only made his inwards boil, but reached to his bones, and dried up the marrow of them. Galen says ^F18 that bones may become so dry as to be crumbled into sand: the Syriac version is

``my bones are burnt as his who is in a hot wind;''

such as were common in the eastern countries, which killed men at once, and they became as black as a coal ^F19.
