Vers. 11. Or darkness, that thou canst not see, and abundance of waters cover thee.
Some render this verse by way of interrogation;1 Shalt thou not see darkness? and shall not the abundance of waters cover thee? shalt thou only not see darkness, and pass unpunished for such monstrous wickednesses? As if he had said; thou seemest to wonder, that darkness is upon thee, thou makest strange of it, that floods or abundance of waters cover thee. But hast thou not deserved and called forth these Judgements, by many sinful provocations?

As if he had sayd; thou seemest to wonder, that darkness is upon thee, thou makest strange of it, that flouds or abundance of waters cover thee. But hast thou not deserved and called forth these Judgements, by many sinfull provocations?
- 1Aut autu solus tenebras non videres & tanta scelera impunè ferres?
Others render this Text, not as a Question, but as a direct Assertion; Thou thoughtest, that thou shouldest, or thou hadst a conceit, that thou shouldest never see darkness, nor any trouble coming upon thee, thy heart was lift up in hope of Impunity; thou didst persuade thy self, that God had as high an opinion of thee, as thou hadst of thy self, or thou hast flattered thy self in thy sinful way, and thou thoughtest that God would have flattered thee also.
