Job17:16

Verſe 16. They ſhall go down to the bars of the pit.] That is, I and my things, or I and my hopes of proſperity, verſe 15. and they that will ſee the good I hope for, moſt paſſe through the gates of death to behold it, and lye down in the grave with me,Per irriſionem baec dicta ſunt. and then it ſhall appear. Cajetan thinks that this is ſpoken ironically to his friends, and by way of irriſion; q.d. Belike you think I ſhall be rich in the grave (who promiſe ſo much to me, and make me ſuch overtures of an happineſſe here) for I have no hope to be rich in this world. And the Septuagint ſeem to favour this ſenſe, rendring it, Shall my goods go into the grave with me? See 1 Tim. 6.7. with the Note.

When our reſt together is in the duſt] Or, When I ſhall reſt alone in the duſt, (as chap. 34.29.) and then — Modo quem fortuna fovendo.De Annibal. Sil. Ital. Congeſtis opibus doniſque refor ſit opimis, Nudum tartareâ, portabit [illegible: 2 letters]vita cymbâ.
