Job 7:18 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

And that thou shouldest visit him every morning, and try him every moment?

Every morning - with each new day: "All the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every morning." It is rather "the Lord's mercies," not our trials, that are "new every morning" (Lamentations 3:23). The idea is that of a shepherd taking count of his flock every morning, to see if all are there (Cocceius).
