It is but one word in the Hebrew, we might render it, Thou hast wrinkled me; or as Master Broughton, Thou hast made me all wrinkled.

First, It signifies, To cut off, or to cut down (Chap. 22.15, 16.) Hast thou marked the old way which wicked men have trodden? Which were cut down out of time: That old way was the way of sin (the way of holiness is the oldest way, but the way of sin is a very old way.) They who have trod the way of sin, were cut down by judgement, and they were cut down out of time; that is, the course of divine Justice prevented the course of nature, and struck them to death before death useth to strike. So some render it here, and then the sense riseth thus, Thou hast cut me down by the stroke of these afflictions, and this is a witness against me.
