They shall lie down alike in the dust

Job 21:17–26, “How oft is the candle of the wicked put out! and how oft cometh their destruction upon them! God distributeth sorrows in his anger. They are as stubble before the wind, and as chaff that the storm carrieth away. God layeth up his iniquity for his children: he rewardeth him, and he shall know it. His eyes shall see his destruction, and he shall drink of the wrath of the Almighty. For what pleasure hath he in his house after him, when the number of his months is cut off in the midst? Shall any teach God knowledge? seeing he judgeth those that are high. One dieth in his full strength, being wholly at ease and quiet. His breasts are full of milk, and his bones are moistened with marrow. And another dieth in the bitterness of his soul, and never eateth with pleasure. They shall lie down alike in the dust, and the worms shall cover them.”

Job continued to discuss the wicked. How often do you see wicked men coming to grief? How often do people rejoice at a man’s death and say that that man deserved to die? Perhaps the wicked man’s children will suffer for the sins of their father, perhaps they won’t. However, everyone will have to face Almighty God at some stage and face His scrutiny. One person dies as a rich and prosperous man while another dies as a poor and embittered man but both of them are buried in the dust and are eaten by the worms.
