Job 30:23 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

House appointed — The grave is a narrow, dark, cold house, but there we shall rest and be safe. It is our home, for it is our mother's lap, and in it we are gathered to our fathers. It is an house appointed for us, by him that has appointed the bounds of all our habitations. And it is appointed for all living. It is the common receptacle for rich and poor: we must all be brought thither, and that shortly.

Job 30:23

23 For I know that thou wilt bring me to death, and to the house appointed for all living.
