Job 24:18-21
_ _ In these verses Job quotes the opinions of his adversaries ironically; he quoted them so before (Job 21:7-21). In Job 24:22-24, he states his own observation as the opposite. You say, “The sinner is swift, that is, swiftly passes away (as a thing floating) on the surface of the waters” (Ecclesiastes 11:1; Hosea 10:7).
_ _ is cursed — by those who witness their “swift” destruction.
_ _ beholdeth not — “turneth not to”; figuratively, for He cannot enjoy his pleasant possessions (Job 20:17; Job 15:33).
_ _ the way of the vineyards — including his fields, fertile as vineyards; opposite to “the way of the desert.”
Job 24:19
_ _ Arabian image; melted snow, as contrasted with the living fountain, quickly dries up in the sunburnt sand, not leaving a trace behind (Job 6:16-18). The Hebrew is terse and elliptical to express the swift and utter destruction of the godless; (so) “the grave — they have sinned!” |
Job 24:19
Drought and heat consume the snow waters: [so doth] the grave [those which] (t) have sinned.
(t) As the dry ground is never full with waters, so will they never cease sinning till they come to the grave. |
