**Moreover** = And.
**continued his parable:** i.e. again took up his impressive discourse. This is Job's last address, corresponding with his first. See the Structure on p. 669.

**I.** Note the frequency of "I" (self-occupation). In [Job 29](../../../kjv/job/29) , the "I" of prosperity; in [Job 30](../../../kjv/job/30) , the "I" of adversity; in [Job 31](../../../kjv/job/31) , the "I" of self-righteousness. Contrast the "I" of [Job 42:2-6](../../../kjv/job/42/2-6) , the "end".

**candle** = lamp.

**youth** = autumn's prime, or maturity.
**secret** = counsel.
**tabernacle** = tent.

**THE ALMIGHTY.** Hebrew Shaddai. App-4 .
**children** = youths.

**rivers** = divisions. Hence the little channels made in garden irrigation. See note on [Psalms 1:3](../../../kjv/psalms/1/3) , and [Proverbs 21:1](../../../kjv/proverbs/21/1) .

**street** = broad or open place.

**laid their hand, &c.** In token of silence and submission.

**poor** = wretched. Hebrew. *'anah* . See note on [Proverbs 6:11](../../../kjv/proverbs/6/11) .

**poor** = helpless. Hebrew. *'ebyon.* See note on [Proverbs 6:11](../../../kjv/proverbs/6/11) .

**wicked.** Hebrew. *'avvil* . App-44 . See note on [Job 18:21](../../../kjv/job/18/21) .

**die in my nest.** The Septuagint reads "grow old as a palm trunk".
**as the sand.** A note in Codices (No. 1 in King's Lib., British Museum) states that the Western School points this to mean "as a phoenix". The Vulgate reads "as a palm".

**as for the rain:** i.e. the early rain, which is sometimes so late as to cause anxiety.
