"12. . . . My calamities forthwith arose; they have overthrown my feet, and have overwhelmed me with their paths as with waves. . . .
"14. They have rushed in upon me as when a wall is broken, and a gate opened, and have rolled themselves down to my miseries. . . ."
Maurer translates, "as when a wall is broken," "with a shout like the crash of falling masonry."
{p. 305}
29. I was the brother of dragons and companion of ostriches.
"30. My skin is become black upon me, and my bones are dried up with the heat."
We are reminded of Ovid's statement that the conflagration of Phaëton caused the skin of the Africans to turn black.
In chapter xxxiv, (King James's version,) we read:
"14. If he" (God) "set his heart upon man, if he gather unto himself his spirit and his breath;
"15. All flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again unto dust."
