Job 7:6

By his "days" is meant his life as a whole, not his individual days, which are far from passing quickly (Job 7:4); and "are spent" means, have been consumed (as Job 7:9), or, are come to an end (Genesis 21:15). He regards his life as near a close, for his disease was incurable; this is expressed by "without hope," i. e. hope of recovery or relief.
