“They shall lie down alike in the dust, and the worms shall cover them.”
Job 21:26 (KJV)
Commentary on Job 21:26
All lie down together: 'They shall lie down alike in the dust, and the worms shall cover them.' Death as the great equalizer—prosperous and bitter, healthy and sick, all become dust and worm food. This graphic imagery emphasizes mortality's leveling effect. Physical death eliminates all earthly distinctions. This should humble both prosperity's pride and suffering's despair—neither lasts forever.
