Job 5:26
_ _ in a full age — So “full of days” (Job 42:17; Genesis 35:29). Not mere length of years, but ripeness for death, one’s inward and outward full development not being prematurely cut short, is denoted (Isaiah 65:22).
_ _ Thou shalt come — not literally, but expressing willingness to die. Eliphaz speaks from the Old Testament point of view, which made full years a reward of the righteous (Psalms 91:16; Exodus 20:12), and premature death the lot of the wicked (Psalms 55:23). The righteous are immortal till their work is done. To keep them longer would be to render them less fit to die. God takes them at their best (Isaiah 57:1). The good are compared to wheat (Matthew 13:30).
_ _ cometh in — literally, “ascends.” The corn is lifted up off the earth and carried home; so the good man “is raised into the heap of sheaves” [Umbreit]. |
Job 5:26
Full age — In a mature and old, but 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 chearfully to the grave: and to die seasonably, just in the bed — time, when our souls are ripe for God. |
Job 5:26
Thou shalt come to [thy] grave in (y) a full age, like as a shock of corn cometh in his season.
(y) Though the children of God have not always carried out this promise, yet God recompenses it otherwise to their advantage. |
