Verses 8-13 - Job had desired death as the happy end of his miseries. For this Eliphaz had reproved him, but he asks for it again with more vehemenc than before. It was very rash to speak thus of God destroying him. Who for one hour, could endure the wrath of the Almighty, if he let loos his hand against him? Let us rather say with David, O spare me little. Job grounds his comfort upon the testimony of his conscience that he had been, in some degree, serviceable to the glory of God Those who have grace in them, who have the evidence of it, and have is in exercise, have wisdom in them, which will be their help in the wors of times.
