he hath both spoken unto me] Or, concerning me. as Genesis 20:13. He hath passed a sentence of death upon me, vers. 1. which he will also put in execution, 2 Corinthians 1:9. Or, he hath passed his word for my recovery; and made it good, vers. 5. I shall go softly all my yeers in the bitternesse of my soul] Or, quietly; or, cheerfully, Psalms 42:4. after (as Jeremiah 31:13.) the bitternesse of my soul, Job. 7. 11. & 10. 1. I shall from hence-forward have no joy of my life, as vers. 117. 1 Kings 21:27. Or, I shall passe the residue of my life quietly, after this bitter brunt is over, vers. 6. See Chap. 53. 8.
