This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Oh: Heb. Who will give, etc
my words: Job 31:35; Isa 8:1, Isa 30:8
oh that they were: Rather, "Oh that they were described yuchakoo in a book, with an iron stile and lead! Were graven on a rock for ever!" Pliny observes, "At first men wrote on palm leaves, and afterwards on the bark or rind of other trees. In process of time, public monuments were written on rolls of lead (plumbeis voluminibus); and those of a private nature on linen books, or tables covered with wax."
