Job 17:1 Commentary: Rashi & Malbim

רוּחִ֣י חֻ֭בָּלָה יָמַ֥י נִזְעָ֗כוּ קְבָרִ֥ים לִֽי׃

My spirit consumed, my days are extinct, The grave is ready for me.

Rashi on Job

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

Malbim on Job

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.
