Job 3:19

“The small and great are there, etc.] Both as to age, and with respect to bulk and strength of body, and also to estate and dignity; children and men, or those of low and high stature, or in a mean or more exalted state of life, as to riches and honour, these all come to the grave without any difference, and lie there without any distinction f122 “little and great are there all one”; as Mr. Broughton renders the words, (see <662012> Revelation 20:12); and the servant [is] free from his master; death dissolves all relations among men, and takes away the power that one has legally over another, as the husband over the wife, who at death is loosed from the law and power of her husband, (…”

“servant--The slave is there manumitted from slavery.”

This sentiment has probably been expressed in various forms in all languages, for all people are made deeply sensible of its truth. The Classic reader will recall the ancient proverb, Mors sceptra ligonibus aequat, And the language of Horace: Aequae lege Necessitas Sortitur insignes et imos. Omne capax movet urna nomen.

“Small and great - Persons of all qualities and conditions. Are there - In the same place and state, all those distinctions being forever abolished. A good reason, why those who have power should use it moderately, and those that are in subjection should take it patiently. Job 3:20”

“The small: Job 30:23; Psa 49:2, Psa 49:6-10; Ecc 8:8, Ecc 12:5, Ecc 12:7; Luk 16:22, Luk 16:23; Heb 9:27 and the servant: Psa 49:14-20 Job 3:20”
