Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Job 4:20

_ _ from morning to evening — unceasingly; or, better, between the morning and evening of one short day (so Exodus 18:14; Isaiah 38:12).

_ _ They are destroyed — better, “they would be destroyed,” if God withdrew His loving protection. Therefore man must not think to be holy before God, but to draw holiness and all things else from God (Job 4:17).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Job 4:12-21.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Job 4:20

Destroyed — All the day long, there is not a moment wherein man is not sinking towards death and corruption. Perish — In reference to this present worldly life, which when once lost is never recovered. Regarding — Heb. without putting the heart to it, this is so common a thing for all men, though never so high and great, to perish in this manner, that no man heeds it, but passes it by as a general accident not worthy of observation.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Job 4:20

They are destroyed from (o) morning to evening: they perish for ever (p) without any regarding [it].

(o) They see death continually before their eyes and daily approaching them.

(p) No man for all this considers it.
