Vers. 17. Because I was not cut off before the darkness, neither hath he Covered the darkness from my face.
Vers. 17. Because I was not cut off before the darknes, neither hath he Covered the darknes from my face.
Here Job gives another reason of his being thus troubled at the presence of the Almighty. It is (saith he) because I was not cut off before the darkness; or, because I dyed not by thick darkness (so Mr Broughton) we say, because I was not cut off, he, because I dyed not; both meet in the same meaning. For death is a cutting off, and death will cut off or mow down the strong, yea the strongest, as the sith doth either corn or grass. Thus spake Hezekiah in his sickness (Isa. 38.10.) I said in the cutting off of my days, that is, when I thought I lay a dying. Job was troubled because he was not cut off.

I sayd in the cutting off of my dayes, that is, when I thought I lay a dying. Job was troubled because he was not cut off.
