Job29:18
18. Then I said , I shall die in my nest , and I shall multiply my days as the sand .
i. e. I persuaded my self, being thus strongly fortified with the Conscience of my own universal integrity, and with the singular favour of God and of all men. But although this was sometimes Iob's opinion, vet at other times he was subject to fears, and expectation of changes, as appears from Chap. 3. 25, 26.
Not a violent or untimely, but a natural, and peaceable, and seasonable death, sweetly expiring in my own Bed and Habitation, in the midst of my Children and Friends, leaving the pretious perfume of a Good-name behind me, and a plentiful Inheritance to all my posterity.
Which is innumerable. See Gen. 22. 17. & 41. 49.
