John Trapp on Job 24:19

Verſe 19. Drought and heat conſume the ſnow waters] Here alſo brevity hath bred obſcurity. Snow waters as they are more ſubtile, ſo they ſooner ſink into the dry earth; ſo dye the wickeds, quickly and eaſily. See chap. 21.13, 31. There are that read the whole verſe thus, In the drought and heat they rob, and in the ſnow waters; they ſin to the grave; that is, they rob (and run into other flagitious practiſes) in all weather, Summer and Winter, and never give over till they dye. They perſiſt in their ſins (ſaith Calvin) wherein they have been nuzzelled up, even to their grave. This is a good ſenſe. Luther tells of one filthy Adulterer, ſo ſet upon that ſin, that he was heard to utter theſe abominable words, If I were ſure to live here for ever, and that I might ſtill be carried from one Brothel-houſe to another, I would never deſire any other heaven then that. Vae dementiae, & impietati. Theat. Hiſt. pag. 568. This beaſtly man breathed out his wretched ſoul betwixt two harlots. Once I knew a moſt odious Adulterer of ſeventy years old (ſaith another great Divine) who having waſted his fleſh and ſtate with harlots, and lying neer death, was requeſted thus, Potter, call upon God;M. Dan. Rog. he replyed with his ordinary oathes, Pox and Wounds, is this a time to pray? I knew, (ſaith a third Reverend man) a great ſwearer, who coming to his death-bed, Satan ſo filled his heart with a madded and enraged greedineſſe after ſin,Mr. Bolton. that though himſelf ſwore as faſt and as furiouſly as he could, yet (as though he had been already among the bannings and blaſphemies of hell) he deſperately deſired the ſtanders by to help him with Oathes, and to ſwear for him. Athenaeus reporteth of one covetous Mammoniſt, that at the hour of his death, he devoured many pieces of Gold, and ſewed the reſt in his coat, commanding that they ſhould be all buried with him. And our Chroniclers write of King Edward 1. that he adjured his ſon and Nobles,Dan. Hiſt. 202. that if he dyed in his Expedition againſt Bruce King of Stots, they ſhould not interre his Corps, but carrie it about Scotland, till they had avenged him on that Uſurper.
