Job 17:1

XVII.

(1) My breath is corrupt. — As it is said to be in Elephantiasis. Some understand it, “My spirit is consumed.” (See margin.)

The graves. — i.e., the grave is mine — my portion. The plural is frequently used for the singular in Hebrew, as, e.g., in the case of the word blood, which is commonly plural, though with us it is never so used.
