This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Fail; or be consumed; either with grief and fears for their sore calamities; or with long looking for what they shall never attain, as this phrase is taken, Psa_69:3 Jer_14:6 Lam_4:17. And this shall be thy condition, O Job, if thou persistest in thine impiety.
They shall not escape; they shall never obtain deliverance out of their distresses, but shall perish in them.
As the giving up of the ghost, i.e. shall be as vain and desperate as the hope of life is in a man, when he is at the very point of death. Or, as a puff of breath, which is gone in a moment without all hopes of recovery.
