This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Job repeats what he said (Job 21:13), that sinners die in exalted positions, not the painful and lingering death we might expect, but a quick and easy death. Join “for a while” with “are gone,” not as English Version. Translate: “A moment - and they are no more! They are brought low, as all (others) gather up their feet to die” (so the Hebrew of “are taken out of the way”). A natural death (Gen 49:33).
ears of corn - in a ripe and full age, not prematurely (Job 5:26).
