Matthew Poole and continuators on Job 8:15

15. He shall lean upon his house , but it shall not stand: he shall hold it fast, but it shall not endure.

i. e. He shall trust to the multitude and strength of his Children and servants, and to his wealth, all which come under the name of a mans house in Scripture-use.

i. e. Not be able to uphold itself nor him that trusted to it.

Or, he shall take fast hold of it, not to uphold it, but to strengthen and uphold himself by it, as it is in the former branch.

e Either the spider: Or rather the wicked man signified by it.
