Job 5:26 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age: &c. Heath translates it, In old age shalt thou come to the sepulchre, as the corn is heaped upon the thrashing-floor in its season. Thou shalt die in a mature and old, though vigorous age, as the word implies. It is a great blessing to live to a full age, and not to have the number of our years cut short: much more to be willing to die; to come cheerfully to the grave; and to die seasonably; in the best time, when our souls are just ripe for God.

Job 5:26

26 Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age, like as a shock of corn cometh inj in his season.
