約伯記 8:12 Meaning and Commentary

Job 8:12

Whilst it [is] yet in its greenness
Before it is come to its full height, or to a proper ripeness; when as yet it has not flowered, or is about it; before the time usual for it to turn and change; it being without moisture, water, or watery clay, will change;

[and] not cut down;
by the scythe, or cropped by the hand of man,

it withereth before any [other] herb;
of itself; rather sooner than such that do not require so much moisture; or in the sight and presence of them, they looking on as it were, and deriding it; a poetical representation, as Schultens observes: next follows the accommodation of these similes to wicked and hypocritical men.

約伯記 8:12 In-Context

10 他 們 豈 不 指 教 你 , 告 訴 你 , 從 心 裡 發 出 言 語 來 呢 ?
11 蒲 草 沒 有 泥 豈 能 發 長 ? 蘆 荻 沒 有 水 豈 能 生 發 ?
12 尚 青 的 時 候 , 還 沒 有 割 下 , 比 百 樣 的 草 先 枯 槁 。
13 凡 忘 記   神 的 人 , 景 況 也 是 這 樣 ; 不 虔 敬 人 的 指 望 要 滅 沒 。
14 他 所 仰 賴 的 必 折 斷 ; 他 所 倚 靠 的 是 蜘 蛛 網 。
