Job7:7
7. Address to God.
Wind--a picture of evanescence (Psa 78:39).
shall no more see--rather, "shall no more return to see good." This change from the different wish in Job 3:17, &c., 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 (Ec 11:7); so Hezekiah (Is 38:11). Grace rises above nature (2Co 5:8).
