Wesley's Notes

14:9 Scent - By means of water. Scent or smell, is figuratively ascribed to a tree.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

9. scent-exhalation, which, rather than the humidity of water, causes the tree to germinate. In the antithesis to man the tree is personified, and volition is poetically ascribed to it.

like a plant-"as if newly planted" [Umbreit]; not as if trees and plants were a different species.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

14:7-15 Though a tree is cut down, yet, in a moist situation, shoots come forth, and grow up as a newly planted tree. But when man is cut off by death, he is for ever removed from his place in this world. The life of man may fitly be compared to the waters of a land flood, which spread far, but soon dry up. All Job's expressions here show his belief in the great doctrine of the resurrection. Job's friends proving miserable comforters, he pleases himself with the expectation of a change. If our sins are forgiven, and our hearts renewed to holiness, heaven will be the rest of our souls, while our bodies are hidden in the grave from the malice of our enemies, feeling no more pain from our corruptions, or our corrections.


Job 14:8 "Though its roots grow old in the ground And its stump dies in the dry soil,
Job 14:10 "But man dies and lies prostrate. Man expires, and where is he? (NASB ©1995)
