Matthew Poole and continuators on Job 8:14

14. Whose hope shall be cut off, and whose trust shall be a Spiders web .

i. e. Whose wealth and outward glory, which is the matter of his hope, and trust, shall be cut off, i. e. suddenly and violently taken away from him. Whose hope shall be i[illegible: 1+ letters]k some or tedious to him, by the succession of earnest expectation and great disapointment.

Which though it be formed with great art and industry, and may do much mischief to others, yet is most sle[illegible: 1+ letters]der and feeble and easily swept down or pulled in peices, and unable to defend the spider that made it. The application is obvious.
