JOB. Chap. 5. Vers. 3, 4, 5. I have seen the foolish taking root, but suddenly I cursed his habitation. His children are far from safety, and they are crushed in the gate, neither is there any to deliver them. Whose harvest the hungry eateth up, and taketh it even out of the thorns, and the robber swalloweth up their substance.
Two parts of the fourth argument were cleared in the two former verses. In these three Eliphaz argues further, to the same effect. His argument is grounded upon his own experience, which had showed many examples of foolish men, like Job (as he supposed) both in his rising and in his falling, in his good days and in his evil. I have seen the foolish taking root, and suddenly I cursed his habitation, &c. The argument may be thus framed.
