Matthew Poole and continuators on Job 16:22

22. When a few years are come, then I shall go the way whence I shall not return .

i. e. To the state and place of the dead, whence men do not, and cannot return to this Life. The meaning is, my death hastens, and therefore I earnestly desire that the cause depending before God, between me and my Friends, may be searched out and determined, that if I be guilty of these things whereof they accuse me, I may bear the shame and blame of it before all men, and if I be innocent, that I may live to see my own Integrity, and the credit of Religion, (which suffers upon this occasion) vindicated, that so I may die in peace with God, and may leave the favour of a good name behind me.

Marginal references: Heb. years of number.
