15:33 Like a vine he will let his sour grapes fall, and like an olive tree he will shed his blossoms.

Tafsiran/Catatan -- Catatan Kata/Frasa (per frasa)

JFB: Job 15:33

Images of incompleteness. The loss of the unripe grapes is poetically made the vine tree's own act, in order to express more pointedly that the sinner's ruin is the fruit of his own conduct (Isa 3:11; Jer 6:19).

Clarke: Job 15:33 - He shall shake off his unripe grape

He shall shake off his unripe grape -

10.    Whatever children he may have, they shall never survive him, nor come to mature age. They shall be like wind-fall grapes and blasted olive blossoms. As the vine and olive, which are among the most useful trees, affording wine and oil, so necessary for the worship of God and the comfort of man, are mentioned here, they may be intended to refer to the hopeful progeny of the oppressor; but who fell, like the untimely grape or the blasted olive flower, without having the opportunity of realizing the public expectation.

TSK: Job 15:33 - shake off // and

shake off : Isa 33:9; Rev 6:13

and : Deu 28:39, Deu 28:40

Tafsiran/Catatan -- Catatan Kata/Frasa (per Ayat)

Poole: Job 15:33 - He // Shall shake off // His unripe grape // As the vine // As the olive

He either,

1. The wicked man, who by his sins is the author of his own ruin. Or,

2. God, who is easily understood, both from the matter and context.

Shall shake off Heb. shall take away by violence .

His unripe grape i. e. his fruit, his children, or other comforts, before their time.

As the vine i.e. as the vine either itself droppeth, or rather loseth, its tender grapes, which are plucked off by a violent hand.

As the olive which flourisheth much about the same time with the vine, and is commonly handled in the same manner.

Haydock: Job 15:33 - First

First. Hebrew, "unripe." (Haydock) ---

He shall derive no aid or comfort from his young family.

Gill: Job 15:33 - He shall shake off his unripe grape as the vine // and shall cast off his flower, as the olive

He shall shake off his unripe grape as the vine,.... Either the wicked man himself shall shake off or lose his substance; or God shall shake off from him all that was dear and valuable to him; or he shall be shaken by one providence or another, just as a vine is shaken by a violent wind and tempest, and its unripe grapes are battered off by an hailstorm, or plucked off by the hand, or drop off through rottenness; so it is signified by this metaphor, that a wicked man should be stripped of his wealth and riches in a sudden manner; or his children should be snatched from him in their youth, before they were well grown up to maturity, and so like the unripe grape; perhaps respect is had to Job's case, both with regard to his substance and his family:

and shall cast off his flower, as the olive: which tree, when shaken in a violent manner, drops its flower, and so brings forth no fruit; it is observed by naturalists ^h, that these two trees, the vine and the olive, flourish much about the same time, and suffer much by storms and tempests, which destroy their fruits, and especially when rain falls in the time of their flowering; the some thing is intended in this clause as in the former.
