Job 3:19

Job 3:19

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

The small and great are there; i.e. "all are there, the small and great alike;" for

"Omnes eodem cogimur, cranium

Versatur urna serius ocius

Sors exitura, et nos in aeternum

Exilium impositura cymbae."

(Her; ' Od.')

And the servant is free from his master; rather, the slave ( עֶבֶד).
