Job 8:16
_ _ before the sun — that is, he (the godless) is green only before the sun rises; but he cannot bear its heat, and withers. So succulent plants like the gourd (Jonah 4:7, Jonah 4:8). But the widespreading in the garden does not quite accord with this. Better, “in sunshine”; the sun representing the smiling fortune of the hypocrite, during which he wondrously progresses [Umbreit]. The image is that of weeds growing in rank luxuriance and spreading over even heaps of stones and walls, and then being speedily torn away. |
Job 8:16
He — The secure and prosperous sinner may think himself wronged, when he is compared to a rush or flag. Compare him then to a flourishing and well — rooted tree. Yet even then shall he be suddenly cut off. Green — Flourisheth in the world. Before the sun — Publickly and in the view of all men. Branch — His children, who are here mentioned as additions not only to his comfort, but also to his strength and safety. Garden — A place where it is defended from those injuries to which the trees of the field are subject, and where, besides the advantages common to all trees, it hath peculiar helps from the art and industry of men. So he supposes this man to be placed in the most desirable circumstances. |
Job 8:16
He [is] (i) green before the sun, and his branch shooteth forth in his garden.
(i) He compares the just to a tree, which although it is moved from one place to another, yet flourishes: so the affliction of the godly turns to their profit. |
