10 But a man dies and is laid low; he breathes his last and is no more.
10 But man dieth, and wasteth away: yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where is he?
10 But a man dies and is laid low; man breathes his last, and where is he?
10 But men and women? They die and stay dead. They breathe their last, and that's it.
10 But man dies and is laid away; Indeed he breathes his last And where is he?
10 "But when people die, their strength is gone. They breathe their last, and then where are they?
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Job 14:10
Commentary on Job 14:7-15
(Read Job 14:7-15)
Though a tree is cut down, yet, in a moist situation, shoots come forth, and grow up as a newly planted tree. But when man is cut off by death, he is for ever removed from his place in this world. The life of man may fitly be compared to the waters of a land flood, which spread far, but soon dry up. All Job's expressions here show his belief in the great doctrine of the resurrection. Job's friends proving miserable comforters, he pleases himself with the expectation of a change. If our sins are forgiven, and our hearts renewed to holiness, heaven will be the rest of our souls, while our bodies are hidden in the grave from the malice of our enemies, feeling no more pain from our corruptions, or our corrections.
