The word pain, is not expressed in the latter part of the verse; the Hebrew is, The multitude of his bones with strong pain. Mr Broughton renders thus, And all his bones with a sore one. The word which we translate strong, signifieth two things; First, as we render, strength or might (Psal: 74.15.) Thou driedst up mighty rivers; God dried up the river Jordan for his people to pass through, yea and the red Sea. Secondly, the word signifieth perpetual lasting or continual. So some render that place in the Psalms, not strong or mighty rivers, but he dried up everlasting or perpetual rivers, such as had always run with a full stream, and were not like those deceitful brooks (spoken of in the 6th Chap: of this book (v. 15th) to which Job compared his Brethren) which in winter over-flow the banks, but in summer, what time ⟨p. 338⟩they wax warm, they vanish when it is hot, and are consumed out of their place. Now, in this place, I conceive, we may take the word in either sense, either for strong and great or chronic, and lasting pain. The man is so sick that he hath no good hours, no comfortable intermissions, his pain continueth. And because the word pain is not in the text, therefore it hath caused several renderings of these words, yet all meeting in the same sense.
The word paine, is not express'd in the latter part of the verse; the Hebrew is, The multitude of his bones with strong paine. Mr Broughton renders thus, And all his bones with a sore one. The word which we translate strong, signifieth two things; First, as we render, strength or might (Psal: 74.15.) Thou driedst up mighty rivers; God dryed up the river Jordan for his people to passe through, yea and the red Sea. Secondly, the word signifieth perpetuall lasting or continuall. So some render that place in the Psalmes, not strong or mighty rivers, but he dryed up everlasting or perpetuall rivers, such as had alwayes run with a full streame, and were not like those deceitfull brookes (spoken of in the 6th Chap: of this book (v. 15th) to which Job compared his Brethren) which in winter over-flow the bankes, but in summer, what time ⟨p. 338⟩they waxe warme, they vanish when it is hot, and are consumed out of their place. Now, in this place, I conceive, we may take the word in either sense, either for strong and great or chronicall, and lasting paine. The man is so sick that he hath no good houres, no comfortable intermissions, his paine continueth. And because the word paine is not in the text, therefore it hath caused severall rendrings of these words, yet all meeting in the same sense.
