Job 27:15

Context

27:15 Those who survive him are buried by the plague, 1 

and their 2  widows do not mourn for them.

1 tn The text says “will be buried in/by death.” A number of passages in the Bible use “death” to mean the plague that kills (see Jer 15:2; Isa 28:3; and BDB 89 s.v. בְּ 2.a). In this sense it is like the English expression for the plague, “the Black Death.”

2 tc The LXX has “their widows” to match the plural, and most commentators harmonize in the same way.
