Job 30:24 — Meaning and Application

Thou liftest me up to the wind; thou causest me to ride {upon it}, and dissolvest my substance. {substance: or, wisdom}

For I know {that} thou wilt bring me {to} death, and {to} the house appointed for all living.

Howbeit he will not stretch out {his} hand to the grave, though they cry in his destruction. {grave: Heb. heap}

Did not I weep for him that was in trouble? was {not} my soul grieved for the poor? {in trouble: Heb. hard of day?}

When I looked for good, then evil came {unto me}: and when I waited for light, there came darkness.
