Job 13:28

Job 13:28 And he, as a rotten thing, consumeth, as a garment that is moth eaten.

Ver. 28. And he, as a rotten thing, consumeth ] Heb. Waxeth old. He, that is, this poor man, this silly wretch, as David speaketh of himself, Psalms 34:6 . Or this body of mine, as Job 19:26 ; Job pointing to it, as it is like he did there; and Paul, 1 Corinthians 15:53-54 . "As a rotten thing" (Heb. as rottenness), "consumeth." When a thing once rotteth, as an apple, flesh, &c., it soon perisheth. Such is man, under pressing afflictions especially.

And as a garment that is moth eaten ] The beauty whereof is defaced, and the usefulness departed.
