What is the meaning of "v'Yamai Kalu Mini Ratz"?
Rashi: My days were eradicated with the other pure ones - they went faster than a runner.
What is the significance that his days were so fast?
Malbim: Bildad said that Hashem afflicts a Tzadik, for good is acquired only via toil and pain, like animals catch prey only via toil, or vegetation is rejuvenated only if it is uprooted and planted elsewhere. Iyov replies, my days fled quickly without good - can you say that they were switched with Eveh boats?! One who goes on a boat suffers pain of the sea and its toil due to his desire to profit great wealth and bring his bread. Or, is it like an eagle that toils and flies to get food? No - those are via choice. Afflictions are inevitable. Animals' toil to get food, the profit comes from the toil, like results from the cause. This is unlike reward given for enduring afflictions!
