I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin, and defiled my horn in the dust.

Commentary

Commentary on Job 16:15

Theological / Devotional

Sewed sackcloth. Another transition in thought. Job turns to the consideration of how he has acted under his severe affliction. He has put on sackcloth, not for a time, merely as ordinary mourners do, but permanently, by sewing it tightly about his skin.

Horn. A symbol of “pride,” “dignity,” “strength.”
