Job12:25
Verſe 25. They grope in the dark without light] This is the ſecond Similie, ſetting forth this judiciary act of God in taking away the heart of the heads of the earth: grope they do, and would fain find out a way by feeling, but they feel darkneſs, and not light (ſo the Hebrew hath it) they try to help themſelves and their people out of miſery, as the laſt Greek Emperour did notably; but it would not be.Turk. hiſt. 345.
And he maketh them to ſtagger like a drunken man] Who having loſt the uſe of reaſon, knoweth neither where he is, nor what he was, but reeleth and falleth oft, and cannot riſe again, much leſſe go forward. So fareth it with evil rulers when God ſmiteth them with a ſpirit of giddineſſe, and of ſlumber. See Iſa. 19.24. and 04.20.
