Job 4:21
Verse 21 of 21. The 4th of 42 chapters in Job, in Poetry and Wisdom.
17Shall mortal man be more just than God? shall a man be more pure than his maker?
18Behold, he put no trust in his servants; and his angels he charged with folly:
19How much less in them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, which are crushed before the moth?
20They are destroyed from morning to evening: they perish for ever without any regarding it.
21Doth not their excellency which is in them go away? they die, even without wisdom.
Job 4:21 in the World English Bible
Isn’t their tent cord plucked up within them? They die, and that without wisdom.’Read Job 4:21 in the WEB
Matthew Henry on Job 4:21
Men are mortal and dying, v. 20, 21. [1.] In death they are destroyed, and perish for ever, as to this world; it is the final period of their lives, and all the employments and enjoyments here; their place will know them no more. [2.] They are dying daily, and continually wasting: Destroyed from morning to evening.
