For I know that thou wilt bring me to death, and to the house appointed for all living.
Job knew with certainty that God would bring him to death, because death is the fate appointed for all the living. Death and the grave are the appointed destination shared by every person, and every person must go there. Job recognized that he too would be brought to that common end. Death is the appointed end of every living person.
The house appointed for all living is the grave. It is the common destiny of every person, the common narrow house into which the dead are laid. Death brings a person to that appointed house shared by all living.
The dead rest in the grave and do not continue living consciously in heaven. The earthly appointed house where the dead are carried away stands in contrast to the Father's heavenly home, where sickness and death will never enter. Death ends a person's opportunity to hear the call to repentance, so it is urgent to speak and work for the salvation of others while they are still alive.
