Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Job 21:32

_ _ Yet — rather, “and.”

_ _ brought — with solemn pomp (Psalms 45:15).

_ _ grave — literally, “graves”; that is, the place where the graves are.

_ _ remain in — rather, watch on the tomb, or sepulchral mound. Even after death he seems still to live and watch (that is, have his “remembrance” preserved) by means of the monument over the grave. In opposition to Bildad (Job 18:17).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Job 21:27-34.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Job 21:32

And — The pomp of his death shall be suitable to the glory of his life. Brought — With pomp and state, as the word signifies. Grave — Heb. to the graves; to an honourable and eminent grave: the plural number being used emphatically to denote eminency. He shall not die a violent but a natural death.
