Job 21:33

Context

21:33 The clods of the torrent valley 1  are sweet to him;

behind him everybody follows in procession,

and before him goes a countless throng.

Job 24:20

Context

24:20 The womb 2  forgets him,

the worm feasts on him,

no longer will he be remembered.

Like a tree, wickedness will be broken down.

[21:33]  1 tn The clods are those that are used to make a mound over the body. And, for a burial in the valley, see Deut 34:6. The verse here sees him as participating in his funeral and enjoying it. Nothing seems to go wrong with the wicked.

[24:20]  2 tn Here “womb” is synecdoche, representing one’s mother.
