“His sons come to honour, and he knoweth it not; and they are brought low, but he perceiveth it not of them.”
Job 14:21 (KJV)
Commentary on Job 14:21
The dead know nothing of their descendants: 'His sons come to honour, and he knoweth it not; and they are brought low, but he perceiveth it not of them.' Death severs earthly connections—the deceased don't experience their family's fortunes. This counters pagan practices of ancestor veneration and intercession. It emphasizes death's finality apart from resurrection hope. Only divine intervention can overcome this separation.
