This Chapter Verse Commentaries:





Of the valley, i.e. of the grave, which is low and deep like a valley.



Shall be sweet unto him; he shall sweetly rest in his grave, free from all cares, and fears, and troubles, Job_3:17,18.



Every man shall draw after him, Heb. he shall draw every man after him, to wit, into the grave; i.e. all that live after him, whether good or bad, shall follow him into the grave, i.e. shall die as he did. So he fares no worse herein than all mankind. He is figuratively said to draw them, because they come after him, as if they were drawn by his example.
