The Hebrew word which we translate an end, springs from a root which signifies to cut off, because every end, whether of time, or things, is the cutting off of that time or thing, the end of which it is. While Job asks the Question, Shall vain words have an end? He speaks the vehemency of his own desire and expectation, to see an end of them. I shall not stay here to give any observations upon these words, but refer the Reader to the Texts before alleged, in the eighth and fifteenth Chapters, where this expression is more fully opened: Only Note.
