He hath broken me asunder.
1This sentence is but one word in the Hebrew, yet more then a single word; it is elegantly doubled in construction to imply double affliction. Grammarians tell us, that two words put together, or the same word twice put increase the sense. Ordinary words will not serve to express an extraordinary condition; he speaks great and compounded words, because his sorrows were great and compounded sorrows. Jobs was not a single, but a double breaking; yea, his was a manifold breaking: He was often broken, and utterly broken; the repeated strokes which fell upon him (by divine dispensation) from all hands, had beaten him to dust and atoms: He hath broken me in sunder.
