job 17:16 They shall go down to the bars of the pit, when our rest together is in the dust. - Free Bible Online

job 17:16 "Will it go down with me to Sheol? Shall we together go down into the dust?"


      16. They--namely, my hopes shall be buried with me.
      bars-- (Isa 38:10). Rather, the wastes or solitudes of the pit (sheol, the unseen world).
      rest together--the rest of me and my hope is in, &c. Both expire together. The word "rest" implies that man's ceaseless hopes only rob him of rest.
