Matthew Poole and continuators on Job 14:20

20. Thou prevailest for ever against him , and he passeth : thou changest his Countenance , and sendest him away .

When once thou takest away this life it is gone for ever: For he speaks not here of man's future and eternal life in another World.

i. e. He dieth or is about to die: Man's death is oft called a passage or a going; to intimate that it is not an annihilation, but only a translation of him into another place and state.

Either 1 his Visage, which by death and its Harbingers, is quite transformed in colour and shape, as we see by daily experience. Or 2. the face and state of his Affairs, as to worldly riches and pleasures, and honours, all which he leaves behind him.

To his long home by death.
