H. P. " My moisture is turned into the drought of summer." This signified that grief had drained off his natural vigor, and left him parched and withered. The Septuagint and Vulgate, according to the ancient readings, (which are in the accusative case) uf raXatniopiav cerumnam, ;ncant that the thorn of divine chastisement turned his life into wretchedness. St. Jerome translates the passage: ^^versatus sum in miseria mea, cum exardesceret aestas." Conversion from sin is not spoken of in the text.
