Job 10:10 Hast thou not milked me as milk, and curdled me like cheese?

Milked. Hebrew, "poured me out as milk, and curdled me like cheese?" (Haydock) --- See Wisdom 7:1. The ancients explained our origin by the comparison of milk curdled, or cheese; (Arist.[Aristotle?] 1:10.; Pliny, [Natural History?] 7:15.) which the moderns have explained on more plausible principles. (Calmet) --- Yet still we may acknowledge our ignorance with the mother of Machabees, 2 Machabees 7:22.
