Tafsiran yang Mengutip untuk Ayub 8:11

This also bears out the metaphor of a plant that he had previously used in this matter, one that a gardener uproots and replants elsewhere, in another spot, where it will grow and flourish (Job 8:11-19). And so, in a similar way, God uproots the righteous person from the land of scorching heat (Hosea 13:5), where he is destined to misery and scarcity and replants him in the land of the living (Job 28:13). In the world of the spirit where He will satisfy his soul in the shimmering light and he will be like a watered garden (Isaiah 58:11) producing fruit and produce.

Providence works in the same way with mankind. A wicked person who is accustomed to pleasures and luxuries would not survive transplantation and so is just taken from the world before his time. Thus, no good comes to the wicked nor does he live very long. However, though a righteous person may be uprooted and transplanted many times over, being dispossessed and suffering physical pain, this is ultimately for his own good, in order to set him in a firm place (Isaiah 22:23). For he will yet bring forth fruit in old age; (Psalms 92:15) For he will yet bring forth fruit in old age; (Psalms 92:15) and the Lord's purpose prospering in his hand (Isaiah 53:10). (Ch.8:11-20).
