Job29:17
17. And I brake the jaws of the wicked, and pluckt the spoil out of his Teeth .
Or, the jaw-bones: or, the grinders, the sharpest and strongest Teeth in the Jaw, i. e. their power and violence wherewith they used to oppress others. It is a Metaphor from Wild-beasts which break their Prey with their Teeth. Compare Psalm 38. & 57. 4. & 58. 6.
i. e. Forced them to restore what they had violently and unjustly taken away.
Marginal references: Heb. the jaw-teeth, or, grinders.; Heb. cast.
