Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Job 7:2

COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

2. earnestly desireth — Hebrew, "pants for the [evening] shadow." Easterners measure time by the length of their shadow. If the servant longs for the evening when his wages are paid, why may not Job long for the close of his hard service, when he shall enter on his "reward?" This proves that Job did not, as many maintain, regard the grave as a mere sleep. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-3" class="com-number"
