1. Job 14:22

   He feels only the pain of his own body and mourns only for himself.”

   ›Commentary on Job 14:222 voices

   “Ver. 22. But his flesh while he liveth shall have pain, and His soul shall mourn over himself. Concerning the married Paul saith, Nevertheless, such shall have trouble in the flesh. But they may 'have trouble in the flesh here,' who are even now leading spiritual lives.

   “But his flesh upon him shall have pain,....

2. Job 30:17

   Night pierces my bones, and my gnawing pains never rest.

   ›Commentary on Job 30:172 voices

   “In the night season my bone is pierced with pangs, and they that eat me sleep not. If we mark the history by itself, the case appears plain, because the body of the holy man, through the hollows of ulcers, a swarming multitude of worms was wounding. But if we dive into the mystery of the allegory, what are denoted by 'the bones,' but the strong ones severally in the body of Holy Church? Who, as it were, by their solidity hold together the members, while they bear with stedfastness the practices of those going weakly.

   “My bones are pierced in me in the night season,....

3. Job 30:18

   With great force He grasps my garment; He seizes me by the collar of my tunic.

   ›Commentary on Job 30:182 voices

   “In the multitude of them is my garment consumed, and they have bound me about as with the collar of my coat. If we give heed to the history, what else do we take 'the garment' of blessed Job for, but his body? whose 'garment indeed is consumed' when the flesh is put to torment. But according to the mystery of allegory, 'the garment' of Holy Church is the life of the faithful.

   “By the great force of my disease is my garment changed,....

4. Job 33:19

   A man is also chastened on his bed with pain and constant distress in his bones,

   ›Commentary on Job 33:192 voices

   “He chastens him also with pain upon his bed, and makes all his bones to waste away. By bed, or pallet, or couch in holy Scripture, is understood, sometimes carnal pleasure, sometimes a resting in good works, sometimes temporal rest; for what is meant by what our Lord said in the Gospel to a certain one who was healed, Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house, except that bodily pleasure is signified by bed?

   “He is chastened also with pain upon his bed,.... This seems to be another way, in which God, according to his eternal purposes, speaks unto men, as the word "also" intimates; namely, by afflictions, and sometimes painful ones; which have a voice in them, and men of wisdom will hearken to it, Mic 6:

5. Lamentations 3:5

   He has besieged me and surrounded me with bitterness and hardship.

   ›Commentary on Lamentations 3:52 voices

   “Verse 4 views the effect of divine blows. It is like a livid spot on a person's body, the effect from a rod inflicting blows. So, about this are three more views. Second is the siege of those people already weakening. Since Verse 5 reports: …

   “He hath builded against me,.... Fortresses, as the Targum adds; as when forts and batteries were raised by the Chaldeans against the city of Jerusalem, in which the prophet was: and compassed me with gall and travail; or "weariness" (e); the same with gall and wormwood, Lam 3:19; as Jarchi observes. The sense is, he was surrounded with sorrow, affliction, and misery, which were as disagreeable as gall; or like poison that drank up his spirits, and made him weary of his life. Thus our Lord was exceeding sorrowful, even unto death; περιλυπος, encompassed with sorrows, Mat 26:

6. Revelation 16:10

   And the fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and its kingdom was plunged into darkness, and men began to gnaw their tongues in anguish

   ›Commentary on Revelation 16:102 voices

   “The throne of the beast, or his kingdom, as it were, his judicial authority, is said to be darkened, because [its followers] are darkened by the joy of earthly happiness. And although they heartily rejoice in their present good rather than in the possessing of …

7. Revelation 21:4

   ‘He will wipe away every tear from their eyes,’ and there will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the former things have passed away.”

   ›Commentary on Revelation 21:42 voices

   “It must be understood concerning the devil that he has certainly been conquered and crucified, but for those who have been crucified with Christ, moreover for all believers and likewise for all people, the devil will also be crucified at the time when what the apostle says will be fulfilled: "As in Adam all die, so also in Christ will all be made alive." Thus there is also in this a mystery of future resurrection.

   “And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes,....
