The Hebrew word for "youth" (&#1504;&#1456;&#1506;&#1493;&#1468;&#1512;&#1460;&#1497;&#1501;, ne'urim) often refers to the prime of life, a time typically associated with strength and potential. In the context of Job, this serves as a warning that a life lived in defiance of divine wisdom and righteousness can lead to an untimely demise. Historically, the ancient Near Eastern cultures placed great value on longevity as a sign of divine favor, so dying young would be seen as a significant misfortune and a sign of divine judgment.<p><b>and their life ends</b><br />The phrase "their life ends" underscores the finality and inevitability of death. The Hebrew word for "ends" (&#1514;&#1468;&#1464;&#1502;&#1463;&#1501;, tamam) conveys a sense of completion or fulfillment, suggesting that the life of the wicked reaches its full measure in death. This reflects the biblical principle that the wages of sin is death (<a href="/romans/6-23.htm">Romans 6:23</a>), emphasizing the moral order established by God. In the broader scriptural context, this serves as a reminder of the importance of living a life aligned with God's will to avoid such a tragic conclusion.<p><b>among the male cult prostitutes</b><br />This phrase refers to a specific form of idolatrous practice prevalent in the ancient Near East, where male cult prostitution was often associated with pagan worship. The Hebrew term used here (&#1511;&#1456;&#1491;&#1461;&#1513;&#1460;&#1473;&#1497;&#1501;, qedeshim) denotes those who were consecrated or set apart for such practices, which were considered abominable in the sight of the God of Israel. This association with cult prostitution highlights the moral and spiritual degradation that accompanies a life of sin. From a conservative Christian perspective, this serves as a stark warning against the dangers of idolatry and immorality, urging believers to remain faithful to God's commandments and to avoid the corrupting influences of the world. The historical context of this practice further illustrates the depth of depravity that can result from turning away from the true worship of God, reinforcing the call to holiness and purity in the life of a believer.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/job/36.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 14.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">They die in youth</span>; literally, <span class="accented">their soul dieth in youth.</span> The result is that, while they are still young, the vital strength of their soul is sapped; they "come to a premature end, like youths who have destroyed the spring of life by licentiousness" (Cook). <span class="cmt_word">And their life is among the unclean</span>.
