Contextual Overview

⁷ O remember that my lyfe is but a winde, and that myne eye shall no more see pleasures: ⁸ Yea and the eye that hath seene me, shal see me no more: for yer thou fasten thyne eye vpon me, I come to naught. ⁹ The cloude is consumed and vanished away: so he that goeth downe to the graue shall come no more vp, ¹⁰ Nor turne againe into his house, neither shall his place knowe him any more. ¹¹ Therfore I wil not spare my mouth, but I will speake in the trouble of my spirite, and muse in the bitternesse of my mynde. ¹² Am I a sea or a whale fish, that thou kepest me [so] in prison? ¹³ When I say, My bed shal comfort me, I shall haue some refreshing by talking to my selfe vpon my couch: ¹⁴ Then fearest thou me with dreames, & makest me so afrayde through visions, ¹⁵ That my soule wisheth rather to perishe and die, then my bones to remayne. ¹⁶ I can see no remedy, I shall liue no more: O spare me then, for my dayes are but vanitie.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Therefore I will not refrain my mouth,.... From speaking and complaining; seeing, besides the common lot of mankind, which is a state of warfare, sorrow, and trouble, and is as much as a man can well grapple with, extraordinary afflictions are laid upon me, which make life insupportable; and seeing I enjoy no good in this present life, and am shortly going where no temporal good is to be expected, and shall never return to this world any more to enjoy any; therefore I will not be silent, and forbear speaking my mind freely, and uttering my just complaint, for which I think I have sufficient reason: or "I also will not refrain my mouth" c; in turn, as a just retaliation, so Jarchi; since God will not refrain his hand from me, I will not refrain my mouth from speaking concerning him; since he shows no mercy to me, I shall utter my miserable complaints, and not keep them to myself; this was Job's infirmity when he should have held his peace, as Aaron, and been dumb and silent as David, and been still, and have known, owned, and acknowledged the sovereignty of God, and not vented himself in passion as he did:

I will speak in the anguish of my spirit; or "in the straitness" d of it; he was surrounded on all sides with distress, the sorrows of death compassed him about, and the pains of hell got hold upon him; he was like one pent up in a narrow place, in a close confinement, that he could not get out of, and come forth from; and he felt not only exquisite pains of body from his boils and sores, but great anguish of soul; and therefore he determines to speak in and "of" e all this, to give vent to his grief and sorrow, his passion and resentment:

I will complain in the bitterness of my soul; his afflictions were like the waters of Marah, bitter ones, very grievous and disagreeable to flesh and blood, and by which his life and soul were embittered to him; and in and of f this he determines to complain, or to utter in a complaining way what he had been meditating on, as the word g signifies; so that this was not an hasty and precipitate action, but what upon deliberation he resolved to do; to pour out his complaint before God, and leave it with him, in a submissive way, would not have been amiss, but if he complained of God and his providence, it was wrong: "why should a living man complain?" not even a wicked man, of "the punishment of his sin", and much less a good man of fatherly chastisements? We see what the will of man is, what a stubborn and obstinate thing it is, "I will, I will, I will", even of a good man when left to himself, and not in the exercise of grace, and under the influence of it; the complaint follows, by way of expostulation.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Therefore I will not refrain my mouth - The idea in this verse is, “such is my distress at the prospect of dying, that I cannot but express it. The idea of going away from all my comforts, and of being committed to the grave, to revisit the earth no more, is so painful that I cannot but give vent to my feelings.”

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Job 7:11. Therefore I will not refrain — All is hopeless; I will therefore indulge myself in complaining.
