job 27:19 The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be gathered: he openeth his eyes, and he is not. - Free Bible Online

job 27:19 "He lies down rich, but never again; He opens his eyes, and it is no more.


      19. gathered--buried honorably (Ge 25:8; 2Ki 22:20). But UMBREIT, agreeably to Job 27:18, which describes the short continuance of the sinner's prosperity, "He layeth himself rich in his bed, and nothing is robbed from him, he openeth his eyes, and nothing more is there." If English Version be retained, the first clause probably means, rich though he be in dying, he shall not be honored with a funeral; the second, When he opens his eyes in the unseen world, it is only to see his destruction: the Septuagint reads for "not gathered," He does not proceed, that is, goes to his bed no more. So MAURER.
