Job20:17
17. He shall not see the rivers, the flouds, the brooks of honey and butter .
i. e. Not enjoy, as that word is oft used; as Psalm 106. 5. Eccles. 2. 1.
That abundant satisfaction and comfort (oft signified by these or such like Metaphors; as Psalm 36. 8. & 46. 5. Isa. 7. 15, 22. & 41. 18.) either which he promised to himself from that great Estate which he had got by deceit and oppression; or which good men through God's blessing may and commonly do enjoy.
Marginal references: Or, streaming brooks.; Or, cream.
