Seeing then the number of every mans yeares is hidden to him, how is this reckoned as the peculiar punishment of a wicked man, that the number of his yeares are hidden to him?

First, The number of the yeares of the World, when that shall end; Of that day and houre knowes no man, no not the Sonne of man, but the Father onely.
Secondly, The number of the years of a mans own life, or the day of his death is a secret which no man knows, though many have been busy to pry and inquire into it. But though godly men know not the number of the years of their own lives, yet this is no affliction to them, under which notion it is here said of the Oppressor; The number of years is hidden to him.
