Job 27:19 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

The rich man shall lie down In death; but he shall not be gathered Namely, in burial, as this word יאס Š, jeaseph, is often used. Instead of that honourable interment with his fathers, which he expected, his carcass shall lie like dung upon the earth. He openeth, or, one openeth his eyes, and he is not That is, while a man can open his eyes, in a moment, or in the twinkling of an eye, he is as if he had never been; he is dead and gone, and his family and name are extinct with him.

Job 27:19

19 The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be gathered: he openeth his eyes, and he is not.
