Job18:15

Verſe 15. It ſhall dwell in his Tabernacles, becauſe it is none of his] Heb. Not his: for why? the King of terrors hath turned him out of it, and taken it up for an habitation for himſelf. Some render it thus, nothing or have nothing. (that is want) ſhall dwell in his Tabernacle, his houſe ſhall be repleniſhed with emptineſſe, ſcarcity ſhall be the furniture of his habitation.

Brimſtone ſhall be ſcattered upon his habitation] As is alſo threatned, Pſal. 11.6. And as was executed upon Sodom and her ſifters: as alſo upon Diocleſian the Tyrant; who giving over his Empire,Euſeb. de Vita Conſt. lib. 5 decreed to lead the reſt of his life quietly. But he eſcaped not ſo, for after that his houſe was wholly conſumed with lightening, and a flame of fire that fell from heaven (not without a ſulphurous ſmell) he hiding himſelf for fear of the lightning, dyed within a little after.
