1. A desolate and a lonesome house.1 I shall be, said Job, with Kings & Counsellors of the earth which build desolate places for themselves, that is, they build tombs, and monuments where they shall lye, and then they shall leave all their attendance.2 When I shall bring thee down with them that descend into the pit, with the people of old time, and shall set thee in the low parts of the earth, in places desolate of old, with them that go down into the pit, that thou be not inhabited. Job 17. 14. I have said to corruption, Thou art my Father, and to the worms, Thou art my mother and my sister: there is all the company you will have, corruption and the worms; friends bring you to your grave, and there they leave you.
