Job 7:16 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

I loathe it; I would not live alway: let me alone; for my days are vanity.

I would not live alway - even if I could. A life of misery like mine is, a thing to be loathed, not desired.

Vanity. "Let me alone" - i:e., cease to afflict me for the few and vain days still left to me (Job 10:20; Psalms 39:13).
