‏ Job 21:33

33 He has been found acceptable to the banks of the River of Lamentation, and he will draw any man towards him, and there are countless before him. ^{▼▼21:33Cocyti is the name of one of the five rivers of Hades; the name means ‘River of Lamentation.’(Conte)
,} ^{▼▼21:33 Acceptable to the gravel of Cocytus: The Hebrew word, which St. Jerome has here rendered by the name Cocytus, (which the poets represent as a river in hell,) signifies a valley or a torrent: and in this place, is taken for the low region of death and hell: which willingly, as it were, receives the wicked at their death: who are ushered in by innumerable others that have gone before them; and are followed by multitudes above number.(Challoner)}
