Job7:1
CHAPTER 7
Job 7:1-21. Job Excuses His Desire for Death.
1. appointed time--better, "a warfare," hard conflict with evil (so in Is 40:2; Da 10:1). Translate it "appointed time" (Job 14:14). Job reverts to the sad picture of man, however great, which he had drawn (Job 3:14), and details in this chapter the miseries which his friends will see, if, according to his request (Job 6:28), they will look on him. Even the Christian soldier, "warring a good warfare," rejoices when it is completed (1Ti 1:18; 2Ti 2:3; 4:7, 8).
