Even today is my complaint bitter: my hand is heavy in spite of my groaning.
All Commentaries on Job 23:2 Go To Job 23
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
Bitterness. Instead of comfort, he only meets with insult from his friends. He therefore appeals to God, (Worthington) but with fear. (Calmet)
Scourge, is not in Hebrew. (Menochius)
But it explains the meaning of "my hand "(Haydock) or the heavy chastisement (St. Gregory) which I endure. (Menochius)
