Job 30:23

Job 30:23

Compare all

21 But You have become cruel to me;
With the strength of Your hand You ^aoppose me.

22 You lift me up to the wind and cause me to ride on it;
You spoil my success.

23 For I know that You will bring me to death,
And to the house ^aappointed for all living.

24 “Surely He would not stretch out His hand against a heap of ruins,
If they cry out when He destroys it.

25 ^aHave I not wept for him who was in trouble?
Has not my soul grieved for the poor?

John Wesley's Notes

<< Job 30:22

Job 30:24 >>

House appointed - The grave is a narrow, dark, cold house, but there we shall rest and be safe. It is our home, for it is our mother's lap, and in it we are gathered to our fathers. It is an house appointed for us, by him that has appointed the bounds of all our habitations. And it is appointed for all living. It is the common receptacle for rich and poor: we must all be brought thither, and that shortly.
