Wesley's Notes for Job 15:33


15:31 Vanity - In the vain and deceitful things of this world, he subjoins a general caution to all men to take heed of running into the same error and mischief. Vanity - Disappointment and dissatisfaction, and the loss of all his imaginary felicity. Recompence - Heb. his exchange; he shall exchange one vanity for another, a pleasing vanity for a vexatious vanity.

15:32 Accomplished - That vanity should be his recompence. Before - When by the course of nature, and common providence he might have continued much longer.
