Job21:33

33. The clods of the Valley shall be sweet unto him , and every man shall draw after him , as there are innumerable dead before him.

i. e. Of the Grave, which is low and deep like a Valley.

He shall sweetly rest in his Grave, free from all cares, and fears, and troubles, Ch. 3. 17, 18.

Heb. He shall draw every man after him, to wit, into the Grave, i. e. All that live after him, whether good or bad, shall follow him into the Grave, i. e. shall dye as he did. So he fares no worse herein than all Mankind. He is figuratively said to draw them, because they come after him, as if they were drawn by his Example.
