Job 9:26

Job 9:26

24 The earth is given into the hand of the wicked.
He covers the faces of its judges.
If it is not He, who else could it be?

25 “Now ^amy days are swifter than a runner;
They flee away, they see no good.

26 They pass by like¹ swift ships,
^aLike an eagle swooping on its prey.

27 ^aIf I say, ‘I will forget my complaint,
I will put off my sad face and wear a smile,’

28 ^aI am afraid of all my sufferings;
I know that You ^bwill not hold me innocent.

John Wesley's Notes

<< Job 9:25

Job 9:27 >>

Eagle - Which flies swiftly, especially when in the sight of his prey. See here how swift the motion of time is! It is always upon the wing, hastening to its period. What little need have we of past - times! What great need to redeem time, which runs out, runs on so fast toward eternity! And how vain are the enjoyments of time, which we may be deprived of, even while time continues! Our day may be longer than our sunshine: and when that is gone, it is as if it had never been.
