Job 14:11
_ _ sea — that is, a lake, or pool formed from the outspreading of a river. Job lived near the Euphrates: and “sea” is applied to it (Jeremiah 51:36; Isaiah 27:1). So of the Nile (Isaiah 19:5).
_ _ fail — utterly disappeared by drying up. The rugged channel of the once flowing water answers to the outstretched corpse (“lieth down,” Job 14:12) of the once living man. |
Job 14:11
As — So it is with man. Or thus, as when the waters fail from the sea, when the sea forsakes the place into which it used to flow, the river which was fed by it, decayeth and drieth up without all hopes of recovery. |
- the flood:
Job 6:15-18 My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook, [and] as the stream of brooks they pass away; ... The paths of their way are turned aside; they go to nothing, and perish.
Jeremiah 15:18 Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, [which] refuseth to be healed? wilt thou be altogether unto me as a liar, [and as] waters [that] fail?
