Job 5:25

Context

5:25 You will also know that your children 1  will be numerous,

and your descendants 2  like the grass of the earth.

1 tn Heb “your seed.”

2 tn The word means “your shoots” and is parallel to “your seed” in the first colon. It refers here (as in Isa 34:1 and 42:5) to the produce of the earth. Some commentators suggest that Eliphaz seems to have forgotten or was insensitive to Job’s loss of his children; H. H. Rowley (Job [NCBC], 57) says his conventional theology is untouched by human feeling.
