Job 21:33 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

The clods of the valley Or, the grave, which is low and deep like a valley; shall be sweet unto him He shall sweetly rest in his grave, free from all cares, and fears, and troubles, Job 3:17-18. Every man shall draw after him Hebrew, He shall draw every man after him, into the grave; all that live after him, whether good or bad, shall follow him to the grave, shall die as he did. So he fares no worse herein than all mankind. He is figuratively said to draw them, because they come after him, as if they were drawn by his example. “There he lies,” says Bishop Patrick, “quietly in the earth, and no one disturbs his ashes: he suffers nothing but what all men shall do after him, as innumerable have done before him.”

Job 21:33

33 The clods of the valley shall be sweet unto him, and every man shall draw after him, as there are innumerable before him.
