John Trapp on Job 15:32

Verſe 32. It ſhall be accompliſhed before his time.] Heb. in not his day. That recompence forementioned of calamity and death ſhall be haſtened, ſo that they ſhall not live out half their dayes. Pſal. 55.22 but dye tempora non ſuo, Eccleſ. 7.15. then when it were better for them to do any thing rather then to dye, ſith they periſh in their corruptions, they are killed with death, Rev. 12.33. See Prov. 10.37. Death ever taketh a wicked man unprovided,Brent. in loc. Haec enim vena nobis ab Adam agnata eſt, ut nullam [illegible: 1 word] ad ſuſpendi[illegible: 1 letter]m aptam invenium poſſimus: neque unquam caro [illegible: 2 letters]urtem eliget, niſi p[illegible: 1 letter]eſſa judicio. We naturally dream of an immortality here, neither yeild we to dye till there be a neceſſity.Lavat. in loc. Miſerandum eſt autem, ſaith one: but it is a pitiful thing that being all ſo deſirous of life, we ſhould ſo little care for thoſe things that would lengthen out lives (ſuch as are piety, juſtice, temperance, &c) we forget that ſhort way to long life, Pſal. 34.12.

His branch ſhall not be green] Heb. His crooked or bowed down branch; this is his full eſtate or numerous iſſue, thoſe boughs of his, laden and bowed down with fruit, ſhall not be green, but blaſted and dryed up: ramificans ejus non vireſcet: It is a miſery to be the branch of a wicked ſtock, for ſuch, as they leave the reſt of their ſubſtance to their little ones, Pſal. 17.14. So they leave them Gods curſe, as Joabs Legacy, 2 Sam. 3.29. or as Gehazies Leproſie, 2 King. 5.27. a wretched bequeath.
