11My dayes are past, my purposes are broken off, euen the thoughts of my heart: 12They change the night into day: the light is short, because of darknes. 13If I waite, the graue is mine house: I haue made my bedde in the darknesse. 14I haue said to corruption, Thou art my father: to the worme, Thou art my mother, and my sister. 15And where is now my hope? as for my hope, who shall see it?

Wesley's Notes for Job 17:13
17:13 Wait - For deliverance, I should be disappointed; for I am upon the borders of the grave, I expect no rest but in the dark grave, for which therefore I prepare myself. I endeavour to make it easy, by keeping my conscience pure, by seeing Christ lying in this bed, (so turning it into a bed of spices) and by looking beyond it to the resurrection.
