Job31:8
8. Then let me sow, and let another eat ; yea, let my off-spring be rooted out.
Let strangers enjoy the fruit of my labours, according to God's Curse, Levit 26. 16. Deut. 28. 30.
As this word is used, Iob 5. 25. & 27. 14. Or rather, my encrease, or growths, or sprowts; i. e. all my Plants and Fruits, and improvements. For 1. so the word properly signifies. 2 So this latter Branch of the Verse explains the former, as is most frequent in this and some other Books of Scripture. 3. He had not now any Children to be rooted out.
