Matthew Poole and continuators on Job 24:19

19. Drought and heat consume the snow-water: so doth the grave those which have sinned .

As the Snow though it doth for a time lie upon the ground, yet at last is dissolved into water by the heat of the season, and that water quickly swallowed up by the earth when it is dry and thirsty: So ungodly sinners though they live and prosper for a season, yet at last they shall go into the grave, which will consume them together with all their hopes and comforts: Their jolly life is attended with a sad and o[illegible: 1+ letters]t-times sudden and violent death, not with such a death as the godly die, which perfects them and brings them to happiness, but with a consuming and never dying death.
