Job 17:13 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

If I wait; if I should give way to those hopes of my deliverance and restoration which you suggest to me. The grave is mine house: I should be sadly disappointed; for I am upon the borders of the grave, which is the only house appointed for me, instead of that goodly house which you promise to me here upon condition of my repentance. I have made my bed in darkness; I expect no other rest but in the dark grave, for which therefore I prepare myself.
