Matthew Poole and continuators on Job 7:1

1. IS there not an appointed time to man upon Earth ? are not his daies also like the daies of an hireling ?

Is there not a certain and short time limited by God wherein man shall live in this sinful, & vain, and miserable world, after which he shall live in an holier and happier place and state? And is it a crime in me to desire that God would give me some ease and respite for the present, and bring me to that blessed and joyful period?

Whose time is limited and short, being but for a few years, Isa. 16. 14. & 21. 16. and sometimes but for daies, Iob 14. 6. Matth. 20. 1, 2. and whose condition is full of toil and hardship.
