Job Continues: Man Born of Woman Has Few Days
Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble. few: Heb. short of days
View commentary (4 sources)
KJV Study Commentary
Job laments: 'Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble.' The phrase 'born of a woman' (yelud ishah, יְלוּד אִשָּׁה) emphasizes human frailty and mortality. 'Few days' (qetsar yamim, קְצַר יָמִים) stresses life's brevity. 'Full of trouble' (seva rogez, שְׂבַע־רֹגֶז) uses rogez (רֹגֶז), meaning turmoil, agitation, or distress. Job's description of human existence as brief and ...

(1) **Man that is born of a woman is of few days.**—He now takes occasion to dilate on the miserable estate of man generally, rising from the particular instance in himself to the common lot of the race. It is not improbable that these words should be connected with the last of the former chapter. *He, as a rotten thing, consumeth*—*a man born of woman, short of days and full of trouble, ...

KJV Study Commentary
Job describes humanity: 'He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not.' The double metaphor (flower/shadow) emphasizes life's brevity and insubstantiality. This melancholic wisdom anticipates New Testament teaching on life's fragility (James 4:14).

'And dost thou open thine eyes upon such an one, and bringest me into judgment with thee?' Job marvels that God would fix His 'eyes' (עֵינֶיךָ, eynekha) on frail humanity ('such an one') and bring them into 'judgment' (מִשְׁפָּט, mishpat). The question echoes Psalm 8:4—why does God notice humans? But Job's tone differs—not wonder at divine care but perplexity at divine scrutiny. Why would the infi...

KJV Study Commentary
Job asks 'Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one.' This recognition of inherited depravity predates full biblical revelation yet captures the doctrine of original sin. The rhetorical question expects no answer - human effort cannot overcome fundamental corruption.
Ellicott’s Commentary for English Readers
(4) **Who can bring a clean thing . . .**—How can man be clean that is born of woman, who is unclean? This question is reiterated by Bildad (Job 25:4). We ought perhaps, however, rather to render “Oh, that the clean could come forth from the unclean! but none can.”

KJV Study Commentary
'Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months are with thee, thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass.' Job affirms divine sovereignty over lifespan: days are 'determined' (חֲרוּצִים, charutsim—decided, decreed), months numbered, 'bounds' (חֻקּוֹ, chuqo—statute, limit) 'appointed' (עָשִׂיתָ, asita—made). This echoes Psalm 139:16 and Acts 17:26. If God sovereignly determines o...

<strong>Turn from him, that he may rest, till he shall accomplish, as an hireling, his day.</strong> Job pleads for God to grant human beings respite, using the metaphor of a hired laborer. The Hebrew <em>shaah</em> (שָׁעָה, "turn from") means to look away, avert one's gaze—Job asks God to stop scrutinizing humanity's sins so intensely. "That he may rest" (<em>veyechdal</em>, וְיֶחְדַּל) employs a...

(6) **Accomplish.**—Rather, *have pleasure in; rejoice at the day when his wages are paid him. *Job had used the same image before (Job 7:2). Job now proceeds to enlarge on the mortality of man, comparing him, as is so often done in all literature, to the vegetable produce of the earth (Isaiah 40:7; Isaiah 65:22); with this difference, however—that a tree will sprout again when it is cut down, but...

KJV Study Commentary
Job's famous hope: 'For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again' contrasts vegetative regeneration with human mortality. Trees can revive; humans die permanently. Yet this observation prepares for Job's greater hope in resurrection (14:14).

<strong>Though the root thereof wax old in the earth</strong> (יַזְקִין בָּאָרֶץ שָׁרְשׁוֹ, yazqin baaretz shorsho)—Job describes a tree whose root (שֹׁרֶשׁ, shoresh) grows old (זָקֵן, zaqen), seemingly dead. <strong>And the stock thereof die in the ground</strong> (גֶּזַע, geza, 'stump/stock')—the visible trunk dies, appearing completely lifeless.

<strong>Yet through the scent of water it will bud</strong> (מֵרֵיחַ מַיִם יַפְרִיחַ, mereach mayim yafriach)—the 'scent' or 'fragrance' (רֵיחַ,reach) of water causes the seemingly dead tree to sprout (פָּרַח, parach, 'bud/blossom/flourish').

'But man dieth, and wasteth away: yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where is he?' Job contrasts nature's cycles (trees sprouting again) with human death's finality. Man 'dieth' (יָמוּת, yamut), 'wasteth away' (וַיֶּחֱלָשׁ, vayechelash—becomes weak, helpless), 'giveth up the ghost' (וַיִּגְוָע, vayigva—expires), and vanishes—'where is he?' (אַיּוֹ, ayyo).

'So man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep.' The imagery: man 'lieth down' (שָׁכַב, shakhav) and 'riseth not' (לֹא־יָקוּם, lo-yaqum), remaining unawakened 'till the heavens be no more' (עַד־בִּלְתִּי שָׁמָיִם, ad-bilti shamayim).

Job's prayer 'O that thou wouldest hide me in the grave, that thou wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past' reveals hope beyond death. The grave becomes a hiding place rather than final destination. Job envisions death as temporary concealment until God's anger subsides.
