This sentence is but one word in the Hebrew; the word signifies any grief, or sorrow, any torture or torment: The translations are various, but all meet in this one sense, that a wicked mans life is a miserable life; All the life of a wicked man is spent in carking care: So the Septuagint. Another renders, It is spent in sorrow. But all may be reduced to that which is most proper to the word: He is in pain as a woman in travail; and whereas we have heard of some Women in travail many days; here is a man in travel all his days.
This sentence is but one word in the Hebrew; the word signifies any griefe, or sorrow, any torture or torment: The translations are various, but all meet in this one sense, that a wicked mans life is a miserable life; All the life of a wicked man is spent in carking care: So the Septuagint. Another renders, It is spent in sorrow. But all may be reduced to that which is most proper to the word: He is in paine as a woman in travaile; and whereas we have heard of some Women in travaile many dayes; here is a man in travell all his dayes.
The wicked man travelleth in pain all his days; his whole life is nothing else but continual pain, or painful throes ⟨p. 88⟩towards the birth of some filthy Monster-sin, which sin when it is finished, brings forth death: Somewhat he hath conceived, the Psalmist tells us what; He hath conceived mischief, and he would bring forth iniquity.
