Job 30:30

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

My skin is black upon me (see the comment on Job 30:28, Job 30:29, ad init.), and my bones are burned with heat. The "burning pains" in the bones, which characterize at least one form of elephantiasis, have been already mentioned (see the comment on Job 30:17).

In ordinary elephantiasis there is often "intense pain in the lumbar region and groin," which the patient might think to be in his bones.
