And the word which we have here for desolate places, is in Scripture clearly applied to the grave, or a place of burial. We have it in, Ezek. 26.20. where the Prophet foreshowing the destruction of Tyre, speaks from the Lord, thus, When I shall bring thee down with them that descend into the pit, and shall set thee in the low parts of the earth, in places desolate of old. There are three words in that verse, and they are all Synonima's, words of the same signification; First, The pit. Secondly, The low parts of the earth. Thirdly, The desolate places; and all these are but several expressions for the grave, or for a place to bury in, It is no more but this, When I shall bring thee down, even with those that lie buried in the grave. So that the word which we translate ⟨p. 414⟩desolate places, being also in other places used for the grave or a place of burial, we may very well expound it so here, that desolate places are the graves or sepulchres of Kings, and Princes, and Counsellors of the earth; which we may do especially, because Job treats in this place about death, and the state of the dead.
