Matthew Poole and continuators on Job 5:25

25. Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall be great , and thine off-spring as the grass of the earth .

Partly by assurance from Gods promises and the impressions of his Spirit; And partly by experience in due time.

Thy posterity, which God will give thee instead of those which thou hast lost, shall be high and honourable and powerful. Or, shall be many.

Which shall come out of thy own loins as branches out of a tree, as the word signifies. And this word seems added to the former to restrain and explain it by shewing that he did not speak of his Spiritual seed, as Abrahams seed is in part understood, but of the fruit of his own body.

Both for its plentiful increase, and for its flourishing greenness.
