“My bowels boiled, and rested not: the days of affliction prevented me.”
My heart is in turmoil and never quiet; days of affliction come to meet me, expressing the internal chaos and the meeting of affliction as if it had active intention toward Job. The turmoil and lack of quiet suggest continuous psychological disturbance. The days of affliction coming to meet Job personify suffering as an active agent seeking him. The verse emphasizes both the internal and external dimensions of suffering.
