Job 27:16 - Forerunner Commentary

Job 27:16

14 ^aIf his children are multiplied, it is for the sword;
And his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.

15 Those who survive him shall be buried in death,
And ^atheir widows shall not weep,

16 Though he heaps up silver like dust,
And piles up clothing like clay—

17 He may pile it up, but ^athe just will wear it,
And the innocent will divide the silver.

18 He builds his house like a¹ moth,
^aLike a¹ booth which a watchman makes.

19 The rich man will lie down,
¹But not be gathered up;
He opens his eyes,
And he is ^ano more.
