Job 10:1

“My soul is weary of my life, etc.] And yet nothing of a temporal blessing is more desirable than life; every man, generally speaking, is desirous of life, and of a long life too; soul and body are near and intimate companions, and are usually loath to part; but Job was weary of his life, willing to part with it, and longed to be rid of it; he “loathed” it, and so it may be here rendered f418, he would not live always, (<180715>Job 7:15,16); his “soul” was uneasy to dwell any longer in the earthly tabernacle of his body, it being so full of pains and sores; for this weariness was not through the guilt of sin pressing him sore, or through the horror of conscience arising from it, so that he…”

“JOB'S REPLY TO BILDAD CONTINUED. (Job 10:1-22) leave my complaint upon myself--rather, "I will give loose to my complaint" (Job 7:11).”

“My soul is weary of my life - compare the note at Job 7:16. The margin here is, Or,” cut off while I live.” The meaning in the margin is in accordance with the interpretation of Schultens. The Chaldee also renders it in a similar way: אתגזרת נפשי - my soul is cut off. But the more correct interpretation is that in our common version; and the sense is, that his soul, that is, that he himself was disgusted with life. It was a weary burden, and he wished to die. I will leave my complaint upon myself - Noyes, “I will give myself up to complaint.” Dr. Good, “I will let loose from myself my dark thoughts.” The literal sense is, “I will leave complaint upon myself;” that is, I will give way to it;…”

“Shall I - Shall I give over complaining? Job 10:2”

“My soul: Job 3:20-23, Job 6:8, Job 6:9, Job 5:15, Job 5:16, Job 5:20, Job 9:21, Job 14:13; Num 11:15; Kg1 19:4; Jon 4:3, Jon 4:8 is weary of my life: or, cut off while I live I will leave: Job 7:11, Job 19:4, Job 21:2-4 I will speak: Job 10:15, Job 10:16, Job 6:2-4, Job 6:26, Job 7:11, Job 16:6-16; Psa 32:3-5; Isa 38:15, Isa 38:17 Job 10:2”

“1 My soul is full of disgust with my life, Therefore I will freely utter my complaint; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul. 2 I will say to Eloah: Condemn me not; Let me know wherefore Thou contendest with me! His self-consciousness makes him desire that the possibility of answering for himself might be granted him; and since he is weary of life, and has renounced all claim for its continuance, he will at least give his complaints free course, and pray the Author of his sufferings that He would not permit him to die the death of the wicked, contrary to the testimony of his own conscience. נקטה is equivalent to נקטּה ot tnel, Eze 6:9, after the usual manner of the contraction of double…”
