Job 6:3 Douay-Rheims

As the sand of the sea this would appear heavier: therefore my words are full of sorrow:

Jamieson, Fausset & Brown

1871 Reformed

the sand-- (Pro 27:3). are swallowed up--See Margin [that is, "I want words to express my grief"]. But Job plainly is apologizing, not for not having had words enough, but for having spoken too much and too boldly; and the Hebrew is, "to speak rashly" [UMBREIT, GESENIUS, ROSENMULLER]. "Therefore were my words so rash."
