Job 7:10

10 Se han ido de su hogar para siempre
y jamás volverán a verlos.

Job 7:10 Meaning and Commentary

Job 7:10

He shall return no more to his house
In a literal sense, built or hired by him, or however in which he dwelt; and if a good man, he will have no desire to return to that any more, having a better house, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens; or in a figurative sense, either his body, the earthly house of his tabernacle, an house of clay, which has its foundation in the dust; to this he shall not return until the resurrection, when it will be rebuilt, and fitted up for the better reception and accommodation of him; or else his family, to whom he shall not come back again, to have any concern with them in domestic affairs, or in part of the business of life, as David said of his child when dead, "I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me", ( 2 Samuel 12:23 ) ;

neither shall his place know him any more;
the place of his office, or rather of his habitation; his dwelling house, his farms and his fields, his estates and possessions, shall no more know, own, and acknowledge him as their master, proprietor, and possessor, these, coming at his death into other hands, who now are regarded as such; or the inhabitants of the place, country, city, town, village, and house in which he lived, shall know him no more; no more being seen among them, he will soon be forgotten; out of sight, out of mind F2.

Job 7:10 In-Context

8 Ahora me ves, pero no será por mucho tiempo;
me buscarás, pero ya me habré ido.
9 Así como las nubes se disipan y se desvanecen,
los que mueren
ya no volverán.
10 Se han ido de su hogar para siempre
y jamás volverán a verlos.
11 »No puedo evitar hablar;
debo expresar mi angustia.
Mi alma llena de amargura debe quejarse.
12 ¿Soy yo un monstruo marino o un dragón
para que me pongas bajo custodia?
