Matthew Poole and continuators on Job 42:6

6. Wherefore I abhor my self , and repent in dust and ashes .

i. e. Dislike, and detest, and loath.

Or, my former words and carriage. One of these or some like supplement is necessary to compleat the sense, and is clearly gathered from the following words.

Sitting in dust and ashes; which hitherto I have done in token of my grief for my affliction, but now I desire and resolve to do in Testimony of my penitence for my sins.
