Job1:11
11. But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face .
To wit, in way of Justice and severity, as that Phrase is used, Isa. 5. 25. Ezek. 25. 7, 13, 16.
i. e. Afflict or destroy, as this word is used▪ Gen. 26. 11. Ruth 2. 9. Psal. 105. 15. Zech. 2. 8.
He who is now so forward to serve and bless thee, will then openly and boldly blaspheme thy Name, and reproach thy Providence, as unjust and unmerciful to him.
Marginal references: Heb. if he bless thee not to thy face.
