Elihu said before He shall break in pieces mighty men; Here he saith, they are destroyed; that is, they shall be broken to purpose, ⟨p. 689⟩or throughly; God doth not break them in pieces for correction, but for destruction; there are great breakings upon the persons and estates of some men, and yet it is but for correction; others the Lord breaketh for utter ruin, (as here) so that they are destroyed. The Original word signifieth to destroy as it were by pounding in a Mortar;1 and the same word is used to signify a contrite heart, a heart broken by godly sorrow under the sense of sin. They are destroyed, or, as it were ground to powder; you may break a thing into many pieces, yet not grind it to powder or dust, as corn in a Mill; or spice in a Mortar; but these (saith Elihu) are not only broken to pieces, but beaten to dust, that's the strength of the word which we render, they are destroyed.
