Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Job 34:15
All flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again unto dust.
All flesh shall perish together – If God chose, he would have a right to cut down the whole race. How then shall people complain of the loss of health, comforts, and friends, and presume to arraign God as if he were unjust?

All flesh, i.e. every man, who is called flesh, Gen 6:3,17; Isa 40:6.
Together, or, alike, without any exception, be they great or mean, wise or foolish, good or bad; if God design to destroy them, they cannot withstand his power, but must needs perish by his stroke. The design of this and the foregoing verse is the same with that of Job 34:13, See Poole “Job 34:13“, namely, to declare Gods absolute and uncontrollable sovereignty over all men, to dispose of them either to life or to death, as it pleaseth him, and consequently to show that Job had cause to be thankful to God, who had continued his life so long to him, which he might have taken away as soon as ever he had given it, and had no cause to complain of him, or to tax him with injustice for afflicting him, as he did.

All flesh shall perish together,…. Not one by one, or one after another, as they generally do, but all together; as when the flood swept away the world of the ungodly. “All flesh” signifies all men, and their bodies of flesh particularly, which are weak, frail, and mortal; and if God gathers or takes out the spirit from them, they die immediately, which is meant by perishing, as in Ec 7:15;
and man shall turn again unto dust; from whence he came, as the body does at death; when those earthly tabernacles of the bodies of men, which have their foundation in the dust, are dissolved and sink into it. Now though this is the case of particular persons, one after another, yet it is not a general case, as it would be if God was to exert his power, as he might without any charge of injustice: and this shows the merciful kindness of God to man, so far is he from doing any thing injurious or unjust.

Ver. 15. All flesh shall perish together ] i.e. All men, called here “All flesh,” as, Mar 16:16 , they are called every creature, a little world. If God command it to be so they shall all breathe out together.
And man shall turn to his dust again
