Commentary on Job 5:26 (Summary)

Job 5:26 (ESV)

26 You shall come to your grave in ripe old age, like a sheaf gathered up in its season.

Like a ripe sheaf of wheat, Job will die when he has reached a high age. These words of comfort will certainly not comfort Job, a sick man who longs for death.
