Verse 18. He will not suffer me to take my breath, but filleth me with bitterness.
Verse 18. He will not suffer me to take my breath, but filleth me with bitternesse.
He not only breaks me with a tempest, and multiplies my wounds, but He will not suffer me to take my breath. This implies the unintermittednesse of afflictions; as if he had said, I have not only many afflictions, 1and great afflictions, but continual afflictions. The Hebrew is, He will not give me to draw back my breath, or suffer my breath to return: The words are of the same importance with those of the 7th Chapter, ver. 19. How long wilt thou not depart from me? Nor let me alone till I swallow down my spittle? That is, wilt thou not give me so much respite as to swallow down my spittle? Here (which is more) he affirms, He will not give me so much as a breathing time.
