Bible Comments

To corruption, Heb. to the pit of corruption, the grave. Thou art my father; I am near akin to time, as being taken out of thee; and thou wilt receive and embrace me, and keep me in thy house, as parents do their children. Thou art my mother, and my sister; because of the same original, and the most strict and intimate union and conjunction between me and the worms.

Job 17:14

14 I have saidh to corruption, Thou art my father: to the worm, Thou art my mother, and my sister.
