job 17:11 My days are past, my purposes are broken off, even the thoughts of my heart.

job 17:11 "My days are past, my plans are torn apart, [Even] the wishes of my heart.

11. Only do not vainly speak of the restoration of health to me; for "my days are past."
broken off--as the threads of the web cut off from the loom (Isa 38:12).
thoughts--literally, "possessions," that is, all the feelings and fair hopes which my heart once nourished. These belong to the heart, as "purposes" to the understanding; the two together here describe the entire inner man.

job 17:11 "My days are past, my plans are torn apart, [Even] the wishes of my heart.
