La mia pelle si annerita su di me e le mie ossa bruciano dal calore.
La mia pelle è nera, e cade a pezzi; le mie ossa son calcinate dall’arsura.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
My skin is black upon me,.... Either through deep melancholy, as may be observed in persons of such a disposition, through grief and trouble; or rather through the force of his disease, the burning ulcers and black scabs with which he was covered, as the Jews were through famine, in their captivity, Lamentations 4:8;
and my bones are burnt with heat; with the heat of a burning fever; which not only made his inwards boil, but reached to his bones, and dried up the marrow of them. Galen says r that bones may become so dry as to be crumbled into sand: the Syriac version is
"my bones are burnt as his who is in a hot wind;''
such as were common in the eastern countries, which killed men at once, and they became as black as a coal s.
r Apud Bartholin. de Cruce, sect. 12. p. 107. s Lamentations 4:8- :.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
My skin is black upon me; - see Job 30:28. It had become black by the force of the disease.
My bones are burnt with heat - The bones, in the Scriptures, are often represented as the seat of pain. The disease of Job seems to have pervaded the whole body. If it was the elephantiasis (see the notes at Job 2:7-8), these effects would be naturally produced.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Job 30:30. My skin is black — By continual exposure to the open air, and parching influence of the sun.
My bones are burned with heat. — A strong expression, to point out the raging fever that was continually preying upon his vitals.
