Commentary
Commentary on Job 2:8
Theological / DevotionalA potsherd. A piece of broken pottery, evidently used to relieve the violent itching, and perhaps to remove the discharge and crust from the eruptions.
Sat down among the ashes. A customary symbol of grief (see Isa. 58:5; Jer. 6:26; Jonah 3:6). For this clause the LXX reads, “sat upon a dung-heap outside the city,” but this translation may be interpretative.
