1Secondly, The word according to the Chaldee, signifies to bind, and fasten one with Cords, or with fetters of Iron, as Malefactors are bound in Prison (Prov. 5.22.) His own iniquity shall take the wicked, and he shall be holden with the Cords of his sin. The Hebrew word which we render to hold, or fasten, is expressed by this of Job in the Chaldee Paraphrase. Taking this sense of the word, the interpretation given of the whole is, Thou hast bound, or straitened me with the cords of my affliction, 2lest I should get out, or make an escape, and this is a witness against me: There is a truth in both these readings, as to this place; but because wrinkles are more proper to the leanness which follows, therefore I shall not stay upon them, but keep to our own reading.
