Job 14:5

“Seeing his days [are] determined, etc.] Or “cut out” f578, exactly and precisely, how many he shall live, and what shall befall him every day of his life; whose life, because of the shortness of it, is rather measured by days than vents: the number of his months [are] with thee; before him, in his sight, in his account, and fixed and settled by him: thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass; the boundaries of his life the period of his days, beyond which he cannot go; the term of man’s life is so peremptorily fixed by God, that he cannot die sooner, nor live longer, than he has determined he should; as the time of a man’s birth, so the time of his death is according to the purpose…”

“determined-- (Job 7:1; Isa 10:23; Dan 9:27; Dan 11:36).”

“Seeing his days - are “determined” Since man is so frail, and so short-lived, let him alone, that he may pass his little time with some degree of comfort and then die; see the notes at Job 7:19-21. The word “determined” here means “fixed, settled.” God has fixed the number of his days, so that they cannot be exceeded; compare the notes at Isaiah 10:23, and notes at Psalms 90:10. The number of his months are with thee - Thou hast the ordering of them, or they are determined by thee. Thou hast appointed his bounds - Thou hast fixed a limit, or hast determined the time which he is to live, and he cannot go beyond it. There is no elixir of life that can prolong our days beyond that period. Soon…”

“Determined - Limited to a certain period. With thee - In thy power and disposal. Thou hast appointed a certain end of his days, beyond which he cannot prolong his life. Job 14:6”

“his days: Job 14:14, Job 7:1, Job 12:10; Psa 39:4; Dan 5:26, Dan 5:30, Dan 9:24, Dan 11:36; Luk 12:20; Act 17:26; Heb 9:27 the number: Job 21:21 thou hast: Job 23:13, Job 23:14; Psa 104:9, Psa 104:29; Dan 4:35; Rev 1:18, Rev 3:7 Job 14:6”
