Matthew Poole and continuators on Job 30:15

15. Terrours are turned upon me : they pursue my soul as the wind : and my welfare passeth away as a cloud .

To wit, from God who sets himself against me, and in some sort joyns his Forces with these Miscreants.

Are directed against me to whom they seem not to belong, as being the portion of wicked men.

Heb. my principal or excellent one, i. e. my Soul, which is fitly so called, as being the chief part of man; as it is called a man's glory, Gen. 49. 6. and his onely One, Psalm 22. 20. and which is the proper seat and object of Divine Terrours, as his Body was of his outward Pains and Ulcers.

i. e. Speedily, vehemently, and irresistibly.

All the happiness and comfort of my life.

Which is quickly dissolved into Rain, or dissipated by the Sun, or driven away with the Wind.
