Vers. 30. He shall not depart out of darkness.
Vers. 30. He shall not depart out of darknesse.
Here is the fourth step of this gradation. The wicked mans misery in misery: He cannot stay in a good, nor get out of an ill estate. Eliphaz seems to take off an objection, for some might say, What if the wicked man do not grow rich for the present? What if his substance doth not continue? What if he prolong not his perfections, or fall from the top-stair of his high condition? Yet we hope at last he may outgrow all this, and get riches which he had not, or regain those which he had? No saith Eliphaz, Either the wicked man shall not rise to riches, or if he rise he shall fall, and when once he is fallen, he shall rise no more; eith•• he shall not get into the light, or if he do, he shall be soon overtaken with darkness, and when once he is in the dark, he shall come out no more, He shall not depart out of darkness.
