The two passages ought to be uniformly rendered. That shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart.--Better, that shall extinguish the eyes, and cause life to waste away. The rendering of the Authorised Version, "consume the eyes," though giving the sense, is misleading, inasmuch as it suggests that the verb "consume" is the same as the disease, "consumption" mentioned in the preceding clause. For the phrase "extinguish the eye"--the eye failing--see Job 11:20; Job 17:5; Job 31:16, &c, and for the whole phrase, comp. Deuteronomy 28:65; 1Samuel 2:23. . . .
