Commentaries:
Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown
Utter exhaustion and hopeless weakness, in these circumstances of pressing danger, are set forth by the most expressive figures; the solidity of the body is destroyed, and it becomes like water; the bones are parted; the heart, the very seat of vitality, melts like wax; all the juices of the system are dried up; the tongue can no longer perform its office, but lies parched and stiffened (compare Genesis 49:4; 2 Samuel 14:14; Psalms 58:8). In this, God is regarded as the ultimate source, and men as the instruments.
