Matthew Poole and continuators on Job 30:14

14. They came upon me as a wide breaking in of waters ; in the desolation they rolled themselves upon me .

As fiercely and violently as a River doth when a great breach is made in the Bank which kept it in. Heb. as at a wide breach; as a besieging Army having made a breach in the Walls of the City, do suddenly and forcibly rush into it.

Or for, or instead of a desolation; i. e. that they might utterly destroy me and make me desolate. Or, in the wast place; i. e. in that part of the [illegible: 1+ letters]ank or Wall which was wasted or broken down.

As the [illegible: 1+ letters]aters, or Souldiers come rolling or tumbling in at the Breach.
