Job 6:12 Meaning and Commentary

Job 6:12

[Is] my strength the strength of stones?
&c.] Is it like such especially which are foundation and corner stones that support a building? or like a stone pillar, that will bear a prodigious weight? no, it is not:

or [is] my flesh of brass?
is it made of brass? or is it like to brass for hardness, or for sustaining any weight laid on it? it is not; and, therefore, it cannot bear up under the ponderous load of afflictions on it, but must sink and fail; it is but flesh and blood, and that flesh like grass, weak and feeble; and, therefore, death is better than life laden with such an insupportable burden.

Job 6:12 In-Context

10 Il me restera du moins une consolation, Une joie dans les maux dont il m'accable: Jamais je n'ai transgressé les ordres du Saint.
11 Pourquoi espérer quand je n'ai plus de force? Pourquoi attendre quand ma fin est certaine?
12 Ma force est-elle une force de pierre? Mon corps est-il d'airain?
13 Ne suis-je pas sans ressource, Et le salut n'est-il pas loin de moi?
14 Celui qui souffre a droit Ă  la compassion de son ami, MĂŞme quand il abandonnerait la crainte du Tout-Puissant.
