Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 5. - My wounds stink and are corrupt. The writer reverts to his bodily pains. He has "wounds," which "stink" and "are corrupt;" or "fester and become noisome," which may be boils, or bed-sores, and which make him a loathsome object to others (comp. Job 9:19; Job 30:18). Because of my foolishness. Because I was so foolish as to forsake the way of righteousness, and allow sin to get the dominion over me.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(5) Wounds.--Better, stripes, as in LXX.Stink and are corrupt.--Both words denote suppuration; the first in reference to the offensive smell, the second of the discharge of matter; the whole passage recalls Isaiah 1:6, seq.Foolishness.--Men are generally even more loth to confess their folly than their sins.
