John Trapp on Job 20:29

Verſe 29 This is the portion of a wicked man from God] A portion God alloweth the wicked in this life, Pſal. 17.14. As a King when he reprieveth a Traytor, alloweth him a ſubſiſtence, priſoners pitance at leaſt. Yes, the worſt of men divide the wealth and honors of the world between them for a time. Nebuchadnezzar had Tyr[illegible: 1 letter]s as pay for his paines in Egypt. And the whole Turkiſh Empire is nothing elſe but a cruſt caſt to his dogs, by the great houſe keeper of the world, ſaith Luther. But beſides this, God hath provided a far other portion for them (ſaith One) and that by way of inheritance, never to be parted from them; viz. all the forementioned miſeries, and many more, all torments here, and tortures in hell. This is the inheritance, Quam nunquam deſerere, non magis quam ſeipſos, pottrunt, which will ſtick to them as cloſe as the skin to the fleſh, or the fleſh to the bones: it falls to them as the inheritance doth to the heir, chap. 27.13. and 31.2. or as the meſs of meat doth to the invited Gueſt. Miſery is the heritage of the wicked, as they are children of diſobedience; and their wages as they are workers of iniquity: their preſent proſperity alſo is a piece of their puniſhment, Iſai. 1.5. Prov. 1.32. The words of Zophar are ended. Let others reply as they pleaſe, but he hath done. Praſtat herbam dare, quam turpiter pugnare. No ſurer ſign of an evil cauſe then a powerleſſe pertinacy.
