In elephantiasis maggots are bred in the sores (Acts 12:23; Isaiah 14:11).
clods of dust--rather, a crust of dried filth and accumulated corruption (Job 2:7-8).
my skin is broken and . . . loathsome--rather, comes together so as to heal up, and again breaks out with running matter [GESENIUS]. More simply the Hebrew is, "My skin rests (for a time) and (again) melts away" (Psalms 58:7).
