18:2 How long [will it be ere] {a} ye make an end of words? {b} mark, and afterwards we will speak.
(a) Who count yourselves just as [Job 12:4](../../../kjv/job/12/4).
(b) Whom you take to be only beasts, as in [Job 12:7](../../../kjv/job/12/7).

18:4 {c} He teareth himself in his anger: shall the {d} earth be forsaken for thee? and shall the rock be removed out of his place?
(c) That is, like a madman.
(d) Shall God change the order of nature for your sake, by dealing with you otherwise than he does with all man?

18:5 Yea, the light of the wicked shall be {e} put out, and the spark of his fire shall not shine.
(e) When the wicked is in his prosperity, then God changes his state: and this is his ordinary working for their sins.

18:8 For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he {f} walketh upon a snare.
(f) Meaning, that the wicked are in continual danger.

18:12 His strength shall be {g} hungerbitten, and destruction [shall be] ready at his side.
(g) That which should nourish him will be consumed by famine.

18:13 It shall devour the strength of his skin: [even] the {h} firstborn of death shall devour his strength.
(h) That is, some strong and violent death will consume his strength: or as the Hebrew word signifies his members or parts.

18:14 His confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle, and it shall bring him to the {i} king of terrors.
(i) That is, with great fear.

18:15 It shall dwell in his tabernacle, because [it is] none of his: {l} brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation.
(l) Though all the world would favour him, yet God would destroy him and his.

18:18 He shall be driven from {m} light into darkness, and chased out of the world.
(m) He will fall from prosperity to adversity.

18:20 They that come after [him] shall be astonied at his {n} day, as they that went before were affrighted.
(n) When they will see what came to him.
