Job 18
Verse 2
How long will it be ere 1 ye make an end of words? 2 mark, and afterwards we will speak.
Who count yourselves just as
Whom you take to be only beasts, as in
Verse 4
1 He teareth himself in his anger: shall the 2 earth be forsaken for thee? and shall the rock be removed out of his place?
That is, like a madman.
Shall God change the order of nature for your sake, by dealing with you otherwise than he does with all man?
Verse 5
Yea, the light of the wicked shall be 1 put out, and the spark of his fire shall not shine.
When the wicked is in his prosperity, then God changes his state: and this is his ordinary working for their sins.
Verse 8
For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he 1 walketh upon a snare.
Meaning, that the wicked are in continual danger.
Verse 12
His strength shall be 1 hungerbitten, and destruction shall be ready at his side.
That which should nourish him will be consumed by famine.
Verse 13
It shall devour the strength of his skin: even the 1 firstborn of death shall devour his strength.
That is, some strong and violent death will consume his strength: or as the Hebrew word signifies his members or parts.
Verse 14
His confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle, and it shall bring him to the 1 king of terrors.
That is, with great fear.
Verse 15
It shall dwell in his tabernacle, because it is none of his: 1 brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation.
Though all the world would favour him, yet God would destroy him and his.
Verse 18
He shall be driven from 1 light into darkness, and chased out of the world.
He will fall from prosperity to adversity.
Verse 20
They that come after him shall be astonied at his 1 day, as they that went before were affrighted.
When they will see what came to him.
