In this latter clause Eliphaz seems more clearly to hint at some particular wicked men, or to show who those wicked men were that he Intends as the object of his observation, namely, those, whose foundation was overflown with a flood. It is usual in Scripture, by some one word to allude to great actions and changes past. Take two or three Instances for Illustration of this; (Psal. 55.15.) David Imprecates vengeance upon his enemies in this Language; Let them go down quick into hell. Which expression carrieth a plain allusion unto that dreadful judgement. (Numb. 16.31, 32.) It came to pass as he (that is, Moses) had made an End of speaking all these words, the ground clave asunder that was under them; and the earth opened her mouth and swallowed them up and their houses, and all the men which appertained unto Corah, and all their goods. They and all that appertained to them went down alive into the pit, &c. This historical ⟨p. 146⟩Narration the Psalmist hints at in his imprecation, as is plain by that word quick or alive; Let them go down quick (or alive) into hell; that is, let such wrath seize upon them, as seized upon Corah, Dathan and Abiram, on whom the earth closed and they perished from among the Congregation. Again, when the Apostle makes promise to Saints in the behalf of Christ what assistance they might expect from him in time of temptation, and what issue from it, he thus assures them; The God of peace shall tread Satan under your feet shortly, (Rom. 16.20.) Which plainly bears upon that first grand Promise, that (Christ) the seed of the Woman should break the Serpents head (Gen. 3.15
