Job 9:25 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

What he had said of the calamities which God usually inflicted upon good men, he now exemplifieth in himself. My days; the days, either of my prosperity; for the time of affliction is commonly described by the night; or rather, of my life, as the last clause showeth; for it were an absurd and contradictious speech to say that his prosperous days saw no good. A post; who runs or rides upon swift horses. They see no good; I enjoy no good in them. Seeing is oft put for experiencing either good or evil, Job 7:7 Psalms 34:12 1 Thessalonians 3:36 1 Thessalonians 8:51.

Job 9:25

25 Now my days are swifter than a post: they flee away, they see no good.
