Charles Ellicott Commentary Job 21:32

"Yet shall he be borne to the grave, And men shall keep watch over the tomb." — Job 21:32 (ASV)

And shall remain in the tomb. —The word rendered tomb is rendered shock of corn in Job 5:26, and is not found in the sense of tomb elsewhere. It is doubtful, therefore, whether this is its meaning here. The verse may mean: “He shall be carried to the grave, and men shall watch over his sheaves,” i.e., his possessions; or “He shall be carried to the grave with as much deference as when he used to watch over his sheaves” (to protect them from robbery).
