Charles Ellicott Commentary Job 5:26

"Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age, Like as a shock of grain cometh in in its season." — Job 5:26 (ASV)

Thou shalt come to thy grave. —There is not improbably a contrast implied here between going into the grave and going up (as a marginal note on the original text indicates) to the barn. The grave in such a case is not the melancholy end of life, but rather the passage to a higher life for which one is already ripe. Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, etc. (2 Timothy 4:8).
