John Trapp on Job 21:33

Verſe 33. The clods of the valley ſhall be ſweet unto him] Here he ſaith the ſame as before, but more poetically, and is variouſly rendred. The Vulgar alluding to an old Poeticall Fable, readeth it thus. He ſhall he ſweet to the ſand of Cocytus, which is fained to be one of the Rivers of Hell, or an infernal Lake, ſo called from the moan there made by damned Ghoſts, who ſhould be glad, of his arrival there. Hell from be [illegible: 2 letters]ath as [illegible: 3 letters]ured for him to meet him at his coming, as 'tis ſaid of the Aſſyrian Tyrant, Iſai. 14.9. Others better expound it thus, He ſhall taſte ſo much bitterneſs whiles he treads upon the clods of the earth, that the clods under the earth ſhall be reckoned ſweet unto him. And Oh how well pleaſed would he be if he might forever lye hidden there, and never riſe up again to come to judgement!Caten. Grac. And as it is with one wicked man departed, ſo it is with all other, whether they dyed before, or ſhall dye after.
