<< Job 7:6

Job 7:8 >>

Job 7:7

Address to God.

Wind—a picture of evanescence (Psalms 78:39).

shall no more see—rather, "shall no more return to see good." This change from the different wish in Job 3:17, etc., is most true to nature. He is now in a softer mood; a beam from former days of prosperity falling upon memory and the thought of the unseen world, where one is seen no more (Job 7:8), drew from him an expression of regret at leaving this world of light (Ecclesiastes 11:7); so Hezekiah (Isaiah 38:11). Grace rises above nature (II Corinthians 5:8).
