Though he heap up silver as the dust ] Silver and gold, what are they else but white and red earth, the guts and garbage of the earth, as one saith?

Job 27:17 He may prepare [it], but the just shall put [it] on, and the innocent shall divide the silver. Ver. 17. He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on. ] Well may he prepare it, so Broughton.

He buildeth his house as a moth ] Which lodgeth itself in some stately garment, and thinks there to die in his nest, which he hath feathered (as the silkworm endeth his life in his long wrought clew), but is soon bruised or brushed out; so shall the oppressor be cast out of his sumptuous buildings, which he hath with much cost and care erected, rather for a moth than a man to dwell in. It is not... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Job 27:20

Job 27:20 Terrors take hold on him as waters, a tempest stealeth him away in the night. Ver. 20. Terrors take hold on him as waters ] Abundantly, suddenly, irresistibly; he is even swallowed up by them and overwhelmed; as he that is plunged into a deep pit full of water, or that hath the proud surges going over his soul, Psalms 124:5 . The misery of it is, that these waters are fiery, and hell is a lake; but a burning lake, and such also as hath eternity to the bottom. A tempest stealeth him... read more
