SEV Biblia, Chapter 30:23
Porque yo conozco que me conduces a la muerte; y a la casa determinada a todo viviente.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Job 30:23
Verse 23. Thou wilt bring me to death ] This must be the issue of my present affliction: to God alone it is possible that I should survive it. To the house appointed for all living. ] Or to the house, d[wm moed, the rendezvous, the place of general assembly of human beings: the great devourer in whose jaws all that have lived, now live, and shall live, must necessarily meet.
" O great man-eater! Whose every day is carnival; not sated yet! Unheard of epicure! without a fellow! The veriest gluttons do not always cram! Some intervals of abstinence are sought To edge the appetite: thou seekest none.
Methinks the countless swarms thou hast devour'd, And thousands that each hour thou gobblest up, This, less than this, might gorge thee to the full.
But O! rapacious still, thou gap'st for more, Like one, whole days defrauded of his meals, On whom lank hunger lays her skinny hand, And whets to keenest eagerness his cravings; As if diseases, massacres, and poisons, Famine, and war, were not thy caterers." THE GRAVE.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 15-31 - Job complains a great deal. Harbouring hard thoughts of God was the sin which did, at this time, most easily beset Job. When inward temptation join with outward calamities, the soul is hurried as in a tempest, an is filled with confusion. But woe be to those who really have God for an enemy! Compared with the awful state of ungodly men, what are all outward, or even inward temporal afflictions? There is something with which Job comforts himself, yet it is but a little. He foresees tha death will be the end of all his troubles. God's wrath might bring his to death; but his soul would be safe and happy in the world of spirits If none pity us, yet our God, who corrects, pities us, even as a fathe pitieth his own children. And let us look more to the things of eternity: then the believer will cease from mourning, and joyfull praise redeeming love __________________________________________________________________
