Vers. 20. Whereas our substance is not cut down, but the remnant of them the fire consumes.
Vers. 20. Whereas our substance is not cut downe, but the remnant of them the fire consumes.
There are divers readings and renderings of this verse; first, some with an affirmative interrogation; is not their substance cut down? that is, it is cut down; And then this verse is a continuation of the former discourse concerning the utter extirpation of the wicked; The righteous are glad, they laugh them to scorn; is not their substance cut down? and doth not the fire consume the remnant of them? As if Eliphaz had said, Whatsoever they had of any substance or moment is cut down, and if possibly there be any small inconsiderable remainder of them, fire (that is, some devouring Judgement) will meet with it, and make an utter end of it.
