Are not my days few? cease then, and let me alone, that I may take comfort a little,
Are not my days few? cease then, and let me alone, that I may take comfort a little,
Are not my days few? cease then, And let me alone, that I may take comfort a little,
Are not the days of my life small in number? Let your eyes be turned away from me, so that I may have a little pleasure,
Are not my days few? cease then, and let me alone, that I may take comfort a little,
Aren't my days few? Cease then. Leave me alone, that I may find a little comfort,
Are not my days few? cease then, and let me alone, that I may take comfort a little,
Are not my days few? - My life cannot be long; let me have a little respite before I die.
Are not my days few? - My life is short, and hastens to a close. Let not then my afflictions be continued to the last moment of life, but let thine hand be removed, that I may enjoy some rest before I go hence, to return no more. This is an address to God, and the meaning is, that as life was necessarily so short, he asked to be permitted to enjoy some comfort before he should go to the land of darkness and of death; compare the note at Job 7:21. A somewhat similar expression occurs in Psalm 39:13 :
O spare me, that I may recover strength,
Before I go hence, and be no more.
10:20 Cease - My life is short, and of itself hastens to an end, there is no need that thou shouldest grudge me some ease for so small a moment.
