Job21:20

20. His Eyes shall see his destruction , and he shall drink of the Wrath of the Almighty.

i. e. He shall be destroyed, as to see death, is to die, Psal. 89. 48. Heb. 11. 5. and to see affliction, or any kind of evil, is to feel it, Psal. 90. 15. Lament. 3. 1. and to see good, is to enjoy it, Ch. 7. 7. & 9. 25. Psal. 34. 12. Or this Phrase may be emphatical, he shall foresee his Ruine hastening towards him, and not be able to prevent or avoid it; he shall sensibly feel himself sinking and perishing: which aggravates his misery:

Not sip or taste, but drink; which word commonly notes the abundance of the thing spoken of.
