Job 38:38

38:38 when the dust hardens ¹  into a mass,

and the clumps of earth stick together?

Job 21:33

21:33 The clods of the torrent valley ²  are sweet to him;

behind him everybody follows in procession,

and before him goes a countless throng.

[38:38]  ¹ tn The word means “to flow” or “to cast” (as in casting metals). So the noun developed the sense of “hard,” as in cast metal.

[21:33]  ² 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.
