John Trapp on Job 24:20

Verſe 20. The Womb ſhall forget him] Some read it, The merciful man forgetteth him; ſcil. becauſe himſelf was mercileſſe. Or becauſe he was a trouble to the world, and a common Peſt, therefore good men are glad to be ſo rid of him; and in ſtead of ſighing over him, ſay, Let the worm feed ſweetly on him, 'tis well he is gone, as he lived wickedly, ſo he dyed wickedly; let him be no more remembred or honourably mentioned, but moulder away, and fall as a rotten tree. Others interpret the words of the ſudden and eaſie death of the wicked, thus, The womb ſhall forget him; that is, ſaith Beza, being once dead, neither his mother nor his wife do bewail and lament his death, becauſe without that pain and torment, that many ſuffer when they depart the world.

The wormes ſhall feed ſweetly on him] Moritar impunitus, he maketh the worms a feaſt with his fat Corps (as Dr. Taylor Martyr made account to have done, if buried in Hadley Church-yard) and feels no pain.

He ſhall be no more remembred] And this is reckoned up as a piece of his happineſs See Eccleſ. 8.10. with the Note there.

And wickedneſſe] that is, the wicked perſon, that crooked piece that can hardly ever be ſet ſtraight again.

Shall be broken as a tree] As a rotten tree blown down by the wind.
