Job 30
1. Job's honor is turned into extreme contempt
15. and his prosperity into calamity














(18) My garment changed.--Some render "By His (i.e., God's) great power the garment (of my skin) is disfigured;" and others, "With great effort must my garment be changed because of the sores to which it clings? It bindeth me about as closely as the collar of my coat."

The whole garment clung to his body as closely as it is usual for a mall's collar, or "neck-hole" (Professor Lee), to cling about his throat.
