Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 11. - What is my strength, that I should hope? Eliphaz had suggested that Job might recover and be restored to his former prosperity (Job 5:18-26). Job rejects this suggestion. His strength is brought too low; it is not conceivable that he should be restored, he cannot entertain any such hope. And what is mine end, that I should prolong my life? rather, that I should stretch out my spirit. Job cannot look forward to such an "end" as Eliphaz prophesies for him; therefore he cannot bring himself to wait on with patience.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(11) Prolong my life.--This is the literal rendering; but some understand be patient, as in our phrase, long-suffering.
