John Trapp on Job 15:21

Verſe 21. A dreadful ſound is in his ears] Heb. A ſound of fear and terrors; Not one but many at once, ſo that he is a Magor-miſſabib, factus à corde ſuo fugitivus, Tertul. as Cain that Caitiff, and thoſe Hivites with their hornets of a clamorous conſcience, worſe to them then if their bodies had been tormented with ſtings, or torn with ſtripes.Exod. 23.28 What a ſound of terrour in their ears frighted thoſe Syrians, 2 Kings 7.6? And thoſe Perſians and Saracen[illegible: 1 letter] overcome by Theodoſius? Panice terrore incuſſo, ſaith the Hiſtorian, afraid of their own ſhadowes, they deſperately caſt themſelves into the River Euphrates, and there periſhed above an hundred thouſand of them, Auno Dom. 394.Fuſic. The wicked flyeth when none purſueth. Prov. 28.1. The ſound of a ſhaken leaf chaſeth him, Lev. 26.36. when the righteous is bold as a Lion, and not diſmayed at evil tidings, Pſal. 112.7. His heart is balanced with the fear of God; and thence it is that he floateth ſteddily, blow what wind it will, he ſailes to the Port; ſtormes and tempeſts do but beat him into it.

In proſperity the deſtroyer ſhall come upon him.] Heb. In peace, when he ſhal ſay, Peace and ſafety. 1 Theſ. 5.3. When he is at the higheſt he ſhall be deſtroyed, Dan. 4.30, 31. In the fulneſſe of his ſufficiency he ſhall be in ſtraits, Job 20.22. his ſhort Spring ſhall have an eternal Winter, Pſal. 92.7. Ʋltimus ſanitat is gradut eſt morbo proximus, ſay Phyſicians, the utmoſt degree of health is neareſt to ſickneſs; ſo the wicked when neareſt miſery, have greateſt proſperity.
