Master Broughton reads, The wicked killeth himself all his days; he is a self murderer; that was the report which Eliphaz made of him at the fifth Chapter, Vers. 2. Envy slayeth the silly one. Both Job and his Friends repeat the same thing often, yet with such variety of illustrations, that though for the matter it be the same, yet it is new for the manner: Such repetitions do not only delight, but profit.

The wicked man travelleth with pain all his days:
The wicked man travelleth with paine all his dayes:
Who is a wicked man, hath been opened at large, Chap. 10.7. where Job affirms, Thou knowest that I am not wicked; There see the temper of a wicked man, I will not stay upon it here. Only consider how his appellation and condition suit one with the other, The wicked man travels: the Original word for a wicked man signifies an unquiet motion, and so one whose life is a continual, not only motion, but unquietness. Unquiet is the name, and unquietness is the state of a wicked man; he is always raising stirs, and acting Tragedies, His life is always in a hurry, he travels with pain all his days.1
