פּירוש אויף איוב 17:5

flattery Heb. לְחֵלֶק, flattery (חלקלקות). speaks Each one of them [speaks] to his friend, and this will come to them: their children’s eyes will fail.

When considering what will happen after they die, all that people are concerned about is the disposal of their earthly possessions, not the future life of their souls. And for some, their posterity is of such little importance that they bequeath their estates to their lifetime friends rather than to their own children.
