Hence Observe:
First, That wicked Oppressors are often speedily cut off by the hand of God (Psal. 55.23.) Blood-thirsty and deceitful men, shall not live out half their days; If God should lengthen out the lives of men set upon mischief, who could live? 'Tis a comfort for us, as well as a curse on them, that Soon numbered years are stored to the Tyrant, his treasure is not great in days, who daily treasures up wrath against himself.

Another resuming these words, He travelleth with pain; out of the former part of the Verse, reads it thus, And in the whole number of years which are laid up for him, he travelleth in pain: That is, his whole life is miserable: As if that which is a truth of all wicked men, were more specially applicable to oppressors; That they travel in pain.
