John Gill Commentary Job 21:24

"His pails are full of milk, And the marrow of his bones is moistened." — Job 21:24 (ASV)

His breasts are full of milk
As this is not literally true of men, some versions read the words otherwise; his bowels or intestines are full of fat, as the Vulgate Latin and Septuagint; and others, his sides or ribs are full of fat, as the Syriac and Arabic; the words for "side" and "fat" being near in sound to those here used; and so it describes a man fit and plump, and fleshy, when death lays hold upon him, and not wasted with consumptions and pining sickness, as in the case of some, (Job 33:21) ; the word for breasts is observed by some

and his bones are moistened with marrow ;

FOOTNOTES:

• F8: to signify, in the Arabic language, "vessels", in which liquors are contained, and in the Misnic language such as they put oil in, out of which oil is squeezed; and so are thought here to intend such vessels as are milked into; and therefore render it by milk pails; so Mr. Broughton, "his pails are full of milk" ^F9 ; which may denote the abundance of good things enjoyed by such persons, as rivers of honey and butter; contrary to Zophar's notion, (Job 20:17) ; and a large increase of oil and wine, and all temporal worldly good; amidst the plenty of which such die:
