Giobbe 8:12

Listen to Giobbe 8:12
12 Mentre son verdi ancora, e senza che li si tagli, prima di tutte l’erbe, seccano.

Giobbe 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.

Giobbe 8:12 In-Context

10 ma quelli certo t’insegneranno, ti parleranno, e dal loro cuore trarranno discorsi.
11 Può il papiro crescere ove non c’è limo? Il giunco viene egli su senz’acqua?
12 Mentre son verdi ancora, e senza che li si tagli, prima di tutte l’erbe, seccano.
13 Tale la sorte di tutti quei che dimenticano Dio, e la speranza dell’empio perirà.
14 La sua baldanza è troncata, la sua fiducia e come una tela di ragno.
