The word which we render affliction noteth weakness, and casting down, or that weakness which ariseth from casting down, an oppressing affliction, which like some great weight lies heavy upon us.

There are different readings; some thus,1 I am filled with affliction, and see my sorrows. The Chaldee thus, I will satiate my self with shame, and I will see my affliction. Man seeth his affliction by feeling it. Sight which is the chief sense, is put for any sense. And so the meaning is, Though I am righteous, yet I cannot hold up my head, or take any comfort, because I am so full of confusion, and see so much affliction; As if he had said, Can a man at the same time mourn and rejoice? Can a man lift up his head, while he hath such a load upon his heart?
