Contextual Overview

²⁵ My dayes are more swyft then a runner, they are gone & haue seene no good thing. ²⁶ They are passed away as the shippes that be good vnder sayle, & as the eagle that fleeth to the pray. ²⁷ If I say, I will forget my complayning, I will ceasse from my wrath, and comfort my selfe: ²⁸ Then am I afrayde of all my sorowes, for I knowe that thou wilt not iudge me innocent. ²⁹ If I be wicked, why then labour I in vayne? ³⁰ If I washe my selfe with snowe water, and make myne handes neuer so cleane at the well: ³¹ Yet shalt thou dippe me in the myre, and mine owne clothes shal defile me. ³² For he that I must geue aunswere vnto, and with whom I go to the lawe, is not a man as I am: ³³ Neither is there any dayesman to lay his hande betweene vs. ³⁴ Let hym take his rodde away from me, yea let hym make me no more afrayde of him,

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Now my days are swifter than a post,.... Or "than a runner" a in a race, in order to obtain the prize; or than one that rides post, or runs on foot to carry a message, such as were Cushi and Ahimaaz; and such are generally swift of foot, or ride on swift horses, who are so employed; and yet Job says his days are swifter, or passed away more swiftly thorn such; meaning either his days in general; or rather particularly his prosperous days, as Mr. Broughton interprets it; these no sooner came but they were gone:

they flee away; like a shadow, or a dream, or a tale that is told:

they see no good; or he saw, perceived, or enjoyed no good in them; not but that he did see and enjoy much good, even much temporal good, which is what is intended; but this was no sooner had than it was taken away, that it was as if it had never been; the evil days of trouble and sorrow, in which he had no pleasure, came so quick upon him.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Now my days are swifter than a post - Than a courier, runner, or racer, רוּץ rûts. Vulgate, cursore; Septuagint, δρομέως dromeōs, a racer. The word is not unfrequently applied to the runners or couriers, that carried royal commands in ancient times. It is applied to the mounted couriers of the Persians who carried the royal edicts to the distant provinces, Esther 3:13, Esther 3:15; Esther 8:14, and to the body-guard and royal messengers of Saul and of David, 1Sa 22:17; 2 Kings 10:25. The common rate of traveling in the East is exceedingly slow. The caravans move little more than two miles an hour. Couriers are however, employed who go either on dromedaries, on horses, or on foot, and who travel with great rapidity. Lady Montague says that “after the defeat; at Peterwaradin, they (the couriers on dromedaries) far outran the fleetest horses, and brought the first news of the battle at Belgrade.” The messengers in Barbary who carry despatches, it is said, will run one hundred and fifty miles in twenty-four hours (Harmer’s Observa. ii. 200, ed. 1808), and it has been said that the messengers among the American savages would run an hundred and twenty miles in the twenty-four hours. In Egypt, it is a common thing for an Arab on foot to accompany a rider, and to keep up with the horse when at full gallop, and to do this for a long time without apparent fatigue. The meaning of Job here is, that his life was short, and that his days were passing swiftly away, not like the slow caravan, but like the most fleet messenger compare the note at Job 7:6.

They see no good - I am not permitted to enjoy happiness. My life is a life of misery.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Job 9:25. Swifter than a post — מני רץ minni rats, than a runner. The light-footed messenger or courier who carries messages from place to place.

They flee away — The Chaldee says, My days are swifter than the shadow of a flying bird. So swiftly do they flee away that I cannot discern them; and when past they cannot be recalled. There is a sentiment like this in VIRGIL, Geor. lib. iii., ver. 284: -

Sed FUGIT interea, CUBIT IRREPARABILE tempus!__

"But in the meanwhile time flies! irreparable time flies away!"
