Job34:15
15. All flesh shall perish together , and man shall turn again unto dust.
i. e. Every Man, who is called Flesh, Gen. 6. 3, 17. Isa. 40. 6.
Or, alik[illegible: 1+ letters], without any exception, be they great or mean, wise or foolish, good or bad, if God design to destroy them, they cannot withstand his power, but must needs perish by his stroke. The design of this and the foregoing Verse is the same with that of v. 13. (where see the notes) namely, to declare God's absolute and uncontrollable Soveraignty over all men to dispose of them either to life or to death as it pleaseth him, and consequently to shew that Iob had cause to be thankful to God who had continued his life so long to him which he might have taken away as soon as ever he had given it, and had no cause to complain of him, or to tax him with injustice for afflicting him, as he did.
