Verse 26 of 27

Scripture focus

Thou shalt come to [thy] grave in a full age, like as a shock of corn cometh in in his season.

Job 5:26 — KJV

Theological / Devotional

Full age. Another sign of divine favor. Despite Job’s serious physical condition, his friend holds before him the hope of longevity.

Like as a shock of corn. Compare Milton:

“So mayest thou live; till like ripe fruit, thou drop

Into thy mother’s lap; or be with ease

Gathered, not harshly plucked; for death mature.”
