Thus the Lord saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the shore, and Israel saw that Great work, which the Lord did upon the Egyptians. The effect of this sight is two ways described in that holy History; First, by the acting of fear and faith; And the people feared the Lord, and believed the Lord and his servant Moses: Secondly, by the acting of their joy in the Lord, and their holy insultation over the drowned Egyptians (Chap. 15. v. 1.) Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the Lord, and spake, saying; I will sing unto the Lord, for he hath triumphed gloriously, the horse & his rider hath he thrown into the Sea. Thus also that innocent people saw the ruin of their wicked enemies, and laughed them to scorn.

Yet I conceive Eliphaz speaking here rather upon a generally experienced and positive truth, then strictly and particularly aiming at those ancient Examples. The innocent, that is, any innocent person, whether innocent in reference to the doing of evil, or having escaped the sufferance of evil, laugh them to scorn.
