First, Of the nature of it, and how it is described: and that is laid down three ways. First, They shall die. Secondly, They shall be troubled. Thirdly, They shall pass away. Under these Notions the judgement of God upon People and Nations is expressed.

Secondly, We may here consider the suddenness of all this, In a moment they shall die.
Thirdly, We may consider the season, (or rather as to man, the unseasonableness) of it, it shall be (though in a dreaming time) when they little dream of it; The people shall be troubled at midnight. Thus we have the judgement or sad dispensation of God described in this 20th verse, both as to the acts of it, and likewise as to the manner of it upon the people.
Elihu having showed the judgement of God upon the people in the former part of this 20th verse, declares also his judgement upon the Princes in the latter end of it; The mighty shall be taken away without hand. Where we see, First, How Princes are expressed or called, They are the mighty. Secondly, What kind of judgement befalleth them, They are taken away. Thirdly, The manner how this is brought about, They are taken away without hand.
