Job26:6

6. Hell h is naked before him i, and destruction hath no covering .

As this word is frequently used, as Iob 11. 8. Isa. 57. 9, &c. And so it seems to be explained by the following word destruction, i. e. the place of destruction, which Interpreters generally understand of Hell, or the place of the Damned. Others the Grave, the most secret and obscure places and things.

i. e. It is in his Presence and under his Providence. So far am I from imagining that God cannot see through a dark Cloud, as you traduced me, Chap. 22▪ 13. that I very well know, that even Hell it self, that place of utter darkness, is not hid from his sight.

k i. e. The place of destruction, as it is also used, Prov. 15. 11. by a Metonymy of the Adjunct.

l To wit, such as to keep it out of his sight.
