King James Bible
"Doth not their excellency which is in them go away? they die, even without wisdom."
Eliphaz poses a rhetorical question about human dignity and status being temporary and fleeting. The word 'excellency' refers to human strength, beauty, or achievements that people prize, emphasizing how even our greatest attributes abandon us at death. Death comes regardless of whether one has gained understanding or insight about life's meaning. Eliphaz concludes his speech by highlighting humanity's ultimate vulnerability—many perish never comprehending the divine purposes behind their suffering or existence.
