Either, first, taking the word properly for cleansing and healing the sores and wounds which were upon his body;1 I know thou wilt not cleanse my body from this filthiness, from these diseases that now annoy me: And so it is an answer to the words of Bildad, telling Job, that in case he sought unto God, and humbled himself before him, he would awaken for him, and remove those judgements.
