Matthew Poole and continuators on Job 14:5

5. Seeing his days are determined , the number of his Months are with thee , thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass .

The days, or (as it follows) months of his Life.

Are by thy Sentence and Decree limited to a certain period.

i. e. Exactly known to thee. Or, in thy power and disposal.

Thou hast appointed a certain end of his days beyond which he cannot prolong his Life. And therefore let this short Life, and unavoidable Death suffice for mans punishment, and do not add further and sorer Calamities.
