Job 9:26
_ _ swift ships — rather, canoes of reeds or papyrus skiffs, used on the Nile, swift from their lightness (Isaiah 18:2). |
Job 9:26
Eagle — Which flies swiftly, especially when in the sight of his prey. See here how swift the motion of time is! It is always upon the wing, hastening to its period. What little need have we of past — times! What great need to redeem time, which runs out, runs on so fast toward eternity! And how vain are the enjoyments of time, which we may be deprived of, even while time continues! Our day may be longer than our sunshine: and when that is gone, it is as if it had never been. |
