They are dead, they shall not live; they are deceased, they shall not rise: therefore have you visited and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish.
Read Chapter 26
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
Giants; the proud emperors of Babylon, whom thou wilt destroy. Septuagint, "physicians "as Rephaim has also this meaning.
For hence it is said by the prophet, “The dead shall not live; the giants shall not rise up again.” For whom does he call “the dead” except sinners, and whom does he designate “giants” except those who over and above take pride in sin. Now the former do “not live,” because by sinning they have forfeited the life of righteousness; these latter too “cannot rise up again” after death because after their transgression they are swollen with pride and do not have recourse to the remedies of penitence. - "Morals on the Book of Job 4.17.30"
