This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
cometh to naught - literally, “fadeth”; a poetical image from a leaf (Isa 34:4). Here Job falls back into his gloomy bodings as to the grave. Instead of “and surely,” translate “yet”; marking the transition from his brighter hopes. Even the solid mountain falls and crumbles away; man therefore cannot “hope” to escape decay or to live again in the present world (Job 14:19).
out of his place - so man (Psa 103:16).
