Charles Spurgeon Commentary Job 7:21

"And why dost thou not pardon my transgression, and take away mine iniquity? For now shall I lie down in the dust; And thou wilt seek me diligently, but I shall not be." — Job 7:21 (ASV)

Speaking after the manner of man, he seems to think that, if God does not pardon him soon, the pardon will come too late; for if God comes in mercy eventually, he will be dead and gone, and God may seek him, but he will not be found. This is how men talk when they are beside themselves from the very extremity of grief. We, too, may perhaps talk in the same fashion one day, so let us not condemn poor Job.

Now let us read a few verses in John 3, that we may be comforted. If any of you are laboring under a sense of sin, I would take you directly to sin's only cure.
