Isaiah 1:5

Why should ye be stricken any more "On what part," etc.? - The Vulgate renders מה על al meh , super quo , (see Job 38:6 ; 2 Chronicles 32:10 ;), upon what part. And so Abendana on Sal. Den Melech: "There are some who explain it thus: Upon what limb shall you be smitten, if you add defection? for already for your sins have you been smitten upon all of them; so that there is not to be found in you a whole limb on which you can be smitten." Which agrees with what follows: "From the sole of the foot even unto the head, there is no soundness in it:" and the sentiment and image is exactly the same with that of Ovid, Pont. 2:7, 42: -

Vix habet in nobis jam nova plaga locum .

There is no place on you for a new stripe. Or that still more expressive line of Euripides; the great force and effect of which Longinus ascribes to its close and compressed structure, analogous to the sense which it expresses: -

́γεμω κακων δη· κ ' ουκετ ' εσθ ' ὁπη τιθῃπ .

I am full of miseries: there's no room for more.
