From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

What is my strength, that I should hope? -Job had hitherto borne his trials without apprehension that he would lose his constancy of hope, or his confidence in God. He here seems to apprehend that his constancy might fail, and he therefore wishes to die before he should be left to dishonor God. He asks, therefore, what strength he had that he should hope to be able to sustain his trials much longer. And what is mine end, that I should prolong my life? -Various interpretations have been given of this passage.
