Job 7:18

“And [that] thou shouldest visit him every morning, etc.] That is, “daily”, continually, as Aben Ezra interprets it; either in a way of love, grace, and mercy; so God has visited men, by raising up and sending his Son to be a Redeemer of them; the Son of God has visited them, as the dayspring from on high, by his incarnation and appearance in this world; (see <420168>Luke 1:68,78); and the Lord visits them, by calling them by his grace, (see <441514>Acts 15:14); by communing and conversing with them in a free and friendly manner; by helping right early, and by renewing his mercies to them every morning, all which is matter of admiration: or else the word may be taken in a different sense, as…”

“With each new day (Psa 73:14). It is rather God's mercies, not our trials, that are new every morning (Lam 3:23). The idea is that of a shepherd taking count of his flock every morning, to see if all are there [COCCEIUS].”

“And that thou shouldest visit him? - That is, for the purpose of inflicting pain. This language Job intends undoubtedly to be applicable to himself, and he asks with impatience why God should take a pleasure in visiting with suffering each returning day a creature like him? Every morning - Why is there no intermission even for a day? Why does not God allow one morning, or one moment, to pass without inflicting pain on a creature so feeble and so frail? And try him - Or, prove him; to wit, by afflictions. Every moment - Constantly; without intermission. return to 'Top of Page'”

“And try, &c. - What is man that vain, foolish creature, that thou shouldest magnify or regard, or visit him, (with thy mercy and blessings, that thou shouldest so far honour and regard him, as by thy visitation to preserve his spirit, or hold his soul in life) and try him, which God doth not only by afflictions, but also by prosperity and both inward and outward blessings? That thou shouldst observe his motions every moment, as in care for him, and jealous over him? Job 7:19”
