This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
There are no bands in their death; they are not dragged to death, neither by the hand and sentence of the magistrate, which yet they deserve; nor by any lingering and grievous torments of mind or body, which is the case of many good men; but they enjoy a sweet and quiet death, dropping into the grave, like ripe fruit from the tree, without ally violence used to them. Compare Job_5:26 21:13.
But their strength is firm, Heb. and their strength is fat, i.e. sound and good; the best of any thing being called fat in Scripture, as Gen_41:2 Dan_1:15. And in their lifetime they have great ease, and health, and content, till they expire like a lamp, merely for want of moisture.
