John Trapp on Job 21:21

Verſe 21. For what pleaſure hath he in his houſe after him?] Hoc est, Omnia impiorum, etiam poſt mortem eorum, maledicta erunt, ſaith Brentius; All that belongs to the wicked ſhall be accurſed, even after their death, though ſome are ſo deſperately ſet upon wickeneſs, that they will have their ſwinge whatſoever come of it, either to themſelves, or their children after them. Sic fere [non-Latin text not transcribed] ſunt improbi, ſo unnatural they are many of them, [non-Latin text not transcribed] Sueton de T[illegible: 1 letter]berio. that, ſo they may ſatisfie their own ſinful and ſenſual deſires, let their poſterity ſink or ſwim, let them ſhift as they can, they care not. Dives in Hell ſeemed ſomewhat careful of his brethren; but ſelf-love moved him to it: for he knew well, that if they were damned, he ſhould be double damned, becauſe they had ſinned by his example and encouragement.

When the number of his months ſhall be cut off in the midſt.] Mortis periphraſis; that is, when he ſhall die, ſaith one. But that's not all. Impius moritur importunè, The wicked dieth in an ill time for himſelf; then when it were better for him to do any thing, then to die. Many of them live not out half their dayes, Pſal. 55.25. Eccleſ. 7.17. God cut off Elies two ſons in one day; and further threatned their father that there ſhould not be an old man left in his houſe for ever, 1 Sam. 2.32. Hezekiah, when he thought he ſhould die, complained that he had cut off his life like a Weaver, Eſa. 38.12. who cuts off the Web from the Thrum. But the Saints (ſuch as he was) die not till the beſt time, not till that time when, if they were rightly informed, they would even deſire to die.
