Cease then, and let me alone.
Some read it in the third person, Therefore let him cease from ⟨p. 577⟩me, and let me alone; we in the second, Cease then, 1and let me alone. Job looks upon himself as one besieged and straitened with afflictions: Now (saith he) I beseech thee raise thy siege, and draw off thy force from me: or if thou wilt not make a final peace with me, yet grant me a cessation, let me have a truce for a limited time, let me not have such continual alarms, or be forced to stand armed continually; Let me rest, saith the Septuagint; Issachar stooped to burdens, because he desired rest. Some are so burdened that they cannot rest, how much soever they desire it. Job desires God to give him rest, because his days were few.
