(7) В¶ O remember that my life is wind: mine eye shall no more see good. (8) The eye of him that hath seen me shall see me no more: thine eyes are upon me, and I am not. (9) As the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away: so he that goeth down to the grave shall come up no more. (10) He shall return no more to his house, neither shall his place know him anymore.
From man Job appears to be turning unto GOD. Oh! that in all the afflictions of the LORD'S faithful ones, this plan was more adopted. I do not mean that we should use Job's words; but only Job's method. If a child of GOD instead of seeking out companions, to pour out his afflictions into their bosom, was to go with his sorrows to pour them in to the bosom of JESUS. Oh! how different would be the relief?
