job 7:5 My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust; my skin is broken, and become loathsome.

job 7:5 "My flesh is clothed with worms and a crust of dirt; My skin hardens and runs.

5. In elephantiasis maggots are bred in the sores (Ac 12:23; Isa 14:11).
clods of dust--rather, a crust of dried filth and accumulated corruption (Job 2:7, 8).
my skin is broken and . . . loathsome--rather, comes together so as to heal up, and again breaks out with running matter [GESENIUS]. More simply the Hebrew is, "My skin rests (for a time) and (again) melts away" (Ps 58:7).

job 7:5 "My flesh is clothed with worms and a crust of dirt; My skin hardens and runs.
