“With kings and counsellors of the earth, which built desolate places for themselves;”
Job 3:14 (KJV)
Commentary on Job 3:14
Job imagines himself at rest 'with kings and counsellors of the earth, which built desolate places for themselves.' This likely refers to rulers who built great monuments and tombs that eventually fell to ruins. Even the mighty and wise find only empty monuments in death. Job's point is that death levels all distinctions—in the grave, the sufferer rests alongside kings. This reflects ancient wisdom's recognition that death is the great equalizer (Ecclesiastes 2:16).
