JOB 3. Ver. 23, 24, 25, 26. Verse 23. Why is light given to a man, whose way is hid, and whom God hath hedged in? For my sighing cometh before I eat, and my roarings are poured out like the waters. For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of, is come unto me. I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet; yet trouble came.
JOB 3. Ver. 23, 24, 25, 26. Verse 23. Why is light given to a man, whose way is hid, and whom God hath hedged in? For my sighing cometh before I eate, and my roarings are powred out like the waters. For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of, is come unto me. I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet; yet trouble came.
AT the 20th. verse of this Chapter, Job begins to expostulate concerning the continuance of his life; and he casts his complaint into an argument, which was formed to his purpose, thus, There is no reason, or if there be, show me a reason why his life is continued, that liveth miserably, and would die willingly; But I am the man who live miserably, and would die willingly: therefore why is light or life continued unto me? The former part of this argument is contained in the 20, 21, 22, 23. verses. In which Job demonstrates that there is no reason, or at least if there be a reason, it is such, as he could not make out, why that man should have his life continued who lives in misery, and is willing to die. Three of those verses we have already finished, and there remaineth the 23. (which is a part of the same reason) to be yet opened.
