Job3:26
26. [I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet: ] [yet trouble came. ]
Three Expressions noting the same thing, which also was signified in the next foregoing Verse, to wit, that even in his prosperous days he never was secure or at rest from the torment of Fear and Anxiety. Others, I did not misbehave my self in Prosperity, abusing it by Presumption, and Security, and Voluptuousness, whereby I might have provoked God thus to afflict me; but I lived soberly and circumspectly, walking humbly with God, and working out my Salvation with Fear and Trembling, little expecting that God would be so fierce an Enemy against me.
Heb. And trouble came, as I feared it would. So between Fear and Calamity my whole Life hath been miserable, and I had reason to repent of it.
