Job 21:32-33

Context

21:32 And when he is carried to the tombs,

and watch is kept 1  over the funeral mound, 2 

21:33 The clods of the torrent valley 3  are sweet to him;

behind him everybody follows in procession,

and before him goes a countless throng.

1 tn The verb says “he will watch.” The subject is unspecified, so the translation is passive.

2 tn The Hebrew word refers to the tumulus, the burial mound that is erected on the spot where the person is buried.

3 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.
