Vers. 2. Some remove the Land-marks, they violently take away flocks, and feed thereof.

:1603p. 485–486

Some remove] Of whom Job spake in particular, or of what particular time he spake is uncertain. Some refer it to the days before the Flood, for that was a time wherein the world was filled with violence; and that was the special sin of that age, set forth (Gen. 6.11.) The earth also was corrupt before God; That is, men dwelling upon the earth, were corrupt, morally corrupt, corrupt in their manners. Thus, the earth was corrupt before God, and, he shows wherein that corruption did consist, and the earth was filled with violence. But as the character which Job gives of these men, may well suite those times: so what times have not produced such a sort of men? And though some times have been more tainted with, and notorious for those sins then others, yet all times have ⟨p. 486⟩been tainted with them, and therefore we may take the words generally as applicable to any age of the world.
