Kommentar zu Ijow 17:1

flicker Heb. נזעכו have sprung away, like (above 6:17) “they jump (נדעכו).”

Is my spirit just on loan to be returned to its Maker at the body's demise, as Eliphaz maintains. No, my days are being ticked off, burying me one by one. There is nothing immortal in man. His whole life is lived here in this world, and every day that goes by is a day gone; irretrievable; buried.

graves are ready for me I am ready for the grave.
