Job 3:15

15 entre gobernantes que poseyeron mucho oroy que llenaron de plata sus mansiones.

Job 3:15 Meaning and Commentary

Job 3:15

Or with princes that had gold
A large abundance of it while they lived, but now, being dead, were no longer in the possession of it, but on a level with those that had none; nor could their gold, while they had it, preserve them from death, and now, being dead, it was no longer theirs, nor of any use unto them; these princes, by this description of them, seem to be such who had not the dominion over any particular place or country, but their riches lay in gold and silver, as follows:

who filled their houses with silver;
had an abundance of it, either in their coffers, which they hoarded up, or in the furniture of their houses, which were much of it of silver; they had large quantities of silver plate, as well as of money; but these were of no profit in the hour of death, nor could they carry them with them; but in the grave, where they were, those were equal to them, of whom it might have been said, silver and gold they had none.

Job 3:15 In-Context

13 Ahora estaría yo descansando en paz;estaría durmiendo tranquilo

14 entre reyes y consejeros de este mundo,que se construyeron monumentos hoy en ruinas;

15 entre gobernantes que poseyeron mucho oroy que llenaron de plata sus mansiones.

16 ¿Por qué no me enterraron como a un abortivo,como a esos niños que jamás vieron la luz?

17 ¡Allí cesa el afán de los malvados!¡Allí descansan las víctimas de la opresión!
