This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Return to go into the womb or belly of the earth, the common mother of all mankind. See Poole "Job_1:21", See Poole "Ecc_12:7". And return to go, is put for return and go; and going is here put for dying, as Job_16:22 Psa_39:13. This is another vanity: if his estate be neither lost, nor kept to his hurt, but enjoyed by him with safety and comfort all his days, yet when he dies he must leave it behind him, and cannot carry one handful of it with him into another world.
