John Trapp on Job 18:20

Verſe 20 Ther that come after him ſhal be aſt[illegible: 2 letters]ied at his day] Future Ages hearing the relation of his diſmal deſtruction, ſhall ſtand agaſt, as if they beheld the dirty ruines of ſome once beautiful City. Happy they, if in good earneſt they could make that good uſe of it, which Herodotus the Hiſtorian ſaith, [non-Latin text not transcribed] Herod. men ſhould make of the overthrow of Troy; viz. to take notice thereby, that great ſinners muſt look for great puniſhments from God. But Ham and his Poſterity were little the better for the Deluge in their dayes: not the adjacent Countries for Sodoms downfal.

As they that went before were afrighted,] ſcil. His contemporaries and eye-witneſſes of his calamity apprehended horror, ſo the Hebrew hath it, they took a fright: which yet was little to the purpoſe without faith and repentance; and unleſſe their hearts fell down, when their hairs ſtood upright.
