“For my sighing cometh before I eat, and my roarings are poured out like the waters. I eat: Heb. my meat”
Job 3:24 (KJV)
Commentary on Job 3:24
Job says, 'For my sighing cometh before I eat, and my roarings are poured out like the waters.' Sighing precedes eating—normally hunger precedes eating—showing how suffering dominates even basic needs. The 'roarings' (Hebrew 'shaag,' used of lions) poured out like water suggest uncontrollable, overwhelming expressions of anguish. Job's suffering isn't quiet or dignified but loud and constant, like a continuous flood.
