Job 8:16

Verse 16. Seemeth. Hebrew “he is green before the sun” beat upon him.—Rising, ortu, for horto, ( Bible.) as the Hebrew and so forth have “garden,” ( Menochius.) with some Latin editions. He had compared the wicked to a rush without moisture. But the just is like a plant in a fine garden, which is not hurt by the sun beams. It will grow even among stones, ( Calmet.) and may be transplanted without danger, verse 19. Bible.—The whole may be, however, a continuation of the former simile. The rush will presently be scorched, as if it were thrown among stones, and its place will know it no longer, verse 18. Menochius.
