Commentary on Job 8:19

Theological / Devotional

Joy of his way. An ironical statement. So ends the once joyful course of life. Others grow. The plant is not mourned or missed. It leaves no trace. Other plants soon take its place. By the parable of the creeping plant Bildad seeks to illustrate what has happened to Job. For a time he thrived, then disaster came, and like the plant he is destroyed.
