Commentary for Job 6:2

and my calamity my ruin.

Job defends himself against the accusation that he had broken down too easily under the pressure of his trials and that this, together with his complaint against God, proved his insincerity. He argues that his afflictions greatly outweigh his resentment and are so wounding that he is now beyond recovery; he is so ill that even the thought of food sickens him. By their very severity, these afflictions belie Eliphaz's thesis that though a righteous man might be made to suffer, he would never be made to perish completely.

placed together on a scale with a weight opposite it. even if [this weight] were the sand of the seas, it would outweigh it.
