“One dieth in his full strength, being wholly at ease and quiet. his: Heb. his very, or, the strength of, his perfection”
Job 21:23 (KJV)
Commentary on Job 21:23
Death comes to all conditions: 'One dieth in his full strength, being wholly at ease and quiet.' Job observes that death doesn't discriminate based on righteousness—the comfortable and prosperous die just like the suffering. The Hebrew 'tom' (full/perfect) describes peak condition. Physical health doesn't guarantee long life or indicate divine favor. Death's universality relativizes the friends' use of suffering as evidence.
