Job 16:8 (King James Version)
And thou hast filled me with wrinkles, which is a witness against me: and my leanness rising up in me beareth witness to my face.
- And thou hast, etc
- Some render, "thou has fettered me," as {kamat} signifies in Arabic; but as it signifies in Syriac to be wrinkled, the common version seems, from the connexion, to be more correct; and if Job's disease were the elephantiasis, these words would apply most forcibly to the wrinkled state of the skin in that disorder.
- is a witness
- 10:17 Ruth 1:21 ; Ephesians 5:27
- my leanness
