Job20:28

Verſe 28. The increaſe of his houſe ſhall depart] All his poſterity ſhall be deſtroyed, and ſo ſhall his proſperity too, even all at once with a ſudden ebb, in the day that God viſiteth him with his wrath and righteous judgements. All the wicked mans wealth and revenue ſhall be wretchedly waſted and embezelled by one meanes or other.

And his goods ſhall flow away] As waters. The Apoſtle ſaith, The faſhion of the world paſſeth away; viz. as a haſty headlong torrent; or as a Picture drawn upon the ice, Thou carrieſt them away (both perſons and things) as with a flood, Pſal. 90.5.
