“Mine eye also is dim by reason of sorrow, and all my members are as a shadow.”
"My eye has grown dim from sorrow, and all my members are like a shadow." The physical manifestations of grief accumulate. Job's vision fails, his body becomes insubstantial, shadow-like. The verse suggests that sorrow is not merely emotional but embodied, material. Grief has transformed Job's physical existence.
