Lamentations 3:4
mortal <01320> [My flesh.]
broken <07665> [he hath.]
Lamentations 4:8
appearance <08389> [visage.]
darker ... soot <07815 02821> [blacker than a coal. Heb. darker than blackness.]
Or, as Dr. Blayney renders, "duskier than the dawn;" {shachar} signifying "the dawn of the day, when it is neither light nor dark, but between both, at which time objects are not easily distinguished."
recognized <05234> [they.]
skin <05785> [their skin.]
Job 30:30
skin <05785> [my skin.]
body <06106> [my bones.]
Psalms 119:83
wineskin ..... smoke <07008 04997> [like a bottle in the smoke.]
As the bottles in the East are made of skin, it is evident that one of these hung up in the smoke must soon be parched, shrivelled up, lose all its strength, and become unsightly and useless. Thus the Psalmist appeared to himself to have become useless and despicable, through the exhausted state of his body and mind, by long bodily afflictions and mental distress.
forget <07911> [yet do I.]
