This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Job_30:31 My harp also is [turned] to mourning, and my organ into the voice of them that weep.
Ver. 31. My harp also is turned to mourning] All the days of the afflicted are evil, Pro_15:15, his harps are hanged up, his lute no longer fit but for melancholy airs; his song nothing but lachrymae, doleful ditties; his organs, all those instruments that were wont to divert him, are condemned either to sigh or to be silent. Intempestiva est in luctu Musica /RAPC Sir 22:6, ïõ íáâëá êùêõôïéóéí ïõ ëõñá öéëá (Sophocl.). Gillimer, overcome and besieged by Belisarius, sent to request of him three things: 1. A loaf, to ease his hunger. 2. A harp, to ease his grief. 3. A sponge, to dry up his tears. Such mournful music was Job’s, if any at all.
