Bible Comments

Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble.

Woman - feeble, and in the East looked down upon (Genesis 2:21). Man, being born of one so frail, must be frail and Woman - feeble, and in the East looked down upon (Genesis 2:21). Man, being born of one so frail, must be frail and prone to sin himself (Job 15:14; Job 25:4; Matthew 11:11).

Few days (Genesis 47:9; Psalms 90:10) - literally, short of days. Man is the reverse of full of days and short of trouble.
