約伯記 9:25 Meaning and Commentary

Job 9:25

Now my days are swifter than a post
Or "than a runner"

---

FOOTNOTES:

F1 in a race, in order to obtain the prize; or than one that rides post, or runs on foot to carry a message, such as were Cushi and Ahimaaz; and such are generally swift of foot, or ride on swift horses, who are so employed; and yet Job says his days are swifter, or passed away more swiftly thorn such; meaning either his days in general; or rather particularly his prosperous days, as Mr. Broughton interprets it; these no sooner came but they were gone:

they flee away;
like a shadow, or a dream, or a tale that is told:

they see no good;
or he saw, perceived, or enjoyed no good in them; not but that he did see and enjoy much good, even much temporal good, which is what is intended; but this was no sooner had than it was taken away, that it was as if it had never been; the evil days of trouble and sorrow, in which he had no pleasure, came so quick upon him.

F1 (Ur-ynm) "cursore", Pagninus, Montanus, Junius & Tremellius, Piscator

24 世 界 交 在 惡 人 手 中 ； 蒙 蔽 世 界 審 判 官 的 臉 ， 若 不 是 他 ， 是 誰 呢 ？

25 我 的 日 子 比 跑 信 的 更 快 ， 急 速 過 去 ， 不 見 福 樂 。

26 我 的 日 子 過 去 如 快 船 ， 如 急 落 抓 食 的 鷹 。

27 我 若 說 ： 我 要 忘 記 我 的 哀 情 ， 除 去 我 的 愁 容 ， 心 中 暢 快 ；
