Job 10:9 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Remember, thou hast made me as the clay I was formed by thee as a potter makes a vessel of clay; so this may note both the frailty of man's nature, which of itself decays and perishes, and doth not need such violent shocks to overthrow it; and the excellence of the divine artifice commended from the meanness of the materials; which is an argument why God should not destroy it. And will thou bring me? &c. Or, rather, without an interrogation, thou wilt bring me into dust again Out of which I was made: I must die by the course of nature, and by the sentence of thy law; and, therefore, while I do live, give me some ease and comfort.
