That is, Without any foreseen appearance of such a mischief; a hand which was not thought of being lifted up against them. It is said of wicked Zimri, who slew his master, that when he saw the people conspire against him, and the City taken, he went into the Palace of the King's house, and (in the heat of his rage) set it on fire, and burnt the Kings house over him, and died, (1 Kin. 16.18.) Justine reports the like conclusion (upon a like occasion) of Sardanapalus, that effeminate and voluptuous Monarch of the Assyrian Empire. They who prosecute this Translation, conceive Elihu reflecting upon Job in all this, who was very uncivilly treated by his own people, from whom he had deserved highest respects, as he complained at the 30th chapter, they raised up against him the ways of their destruction; they used him very rudely, even despitefully; and he was in a pining consuming condition, as a man taken away without hand. But I shall not insist upon this reading, but take the words according to the scope before given, as a description of a mixed judgement from God; a judgement partly upon the people, and partly upon Princes, a judgement upon the many, and a judgement upon the mighty; In a moment shall they die.
