SEV Biblia, Chapter 21:33
Los terrones del arroyo le serán ya dulces; y tras de él será llevado todo hombre, y antes de él han ido innumerables.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Job 21:33
Verse 33. The clods of the valley shall be sweet unto him ] Perhaps there is an allusion here to the Asiatic mode of interment for princes, saints, and nobles: a well-watered valley was chosen for the tomb, where a perpetual spring might be secured. This was intended to be the emblem of a resurrection, or of a future life; and to conceal as much as possible the disgrace of the rotting carcass. Every man shall draw after him ] There seem to be two allusions intended here: 1. To death, the common lot of all. Millions have gone before him to the tomb; and µda lk col adam, all men, shall follow him: all past generations have died, all succeeding generations shall die also. 2.
To pompous funeral processions; multitudes preceding, and multitudes following, the corpse.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 27-34 - Job opposes the opinion of his friends, That the wicked are sure to fall into visible and remarkable ruin, and none but the wicked; upo which principle they condemned Job as wicked. Turn to whom you will you will find that the punishment of sinners is designed more for the other world than for this, Jude 1:14, 15. The sinner is here suppose to live in a great deal of power. The sinner shall have a splendi funeral: a poor thing for any man to be proud of the prospect of. He shall have a stately monument. And a valley with springs of water to keep the turf green, was accounted an honourable burial place amon eastern people; but such things are vain distinctions. Death closes his prosperity. It is but a poor encouragement to die, that others have died before us. That which makes a man die with true courage, is, with faith to remember that Jesus Christ died and was laid in the grave, no only before us, but for us. That He hath gone before us, and died for us, who is alive and liveth for us, is true consolation in the hour of death __________________________________________________________________
