Job 6:10

John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible · John Gill (1697–1771) · Public Domain

Then should I yet have comfort,.... Either before death, and in the midst of all his pains and sorrows, being in view of it as near at hand, and sure and certain; could he but be assured of its near approach, he could exult in his afflictions; it would be an alleviation of his trouble, that he should be soon out of it; and he would sit and sing upon the brink of eternity, and say, "O death, where is thy sting!

O grave, where is thy victory?"
