Job24:22

Verſe 22. He draweth alſo the mighty with his power] i.e. He hath brought them by force under his girdle, and compelled them to do him homage and ſervice.

He riſeth up.] In the fulneſſe of his might, as a King againſt whom there is no riſing up, Prov. 30.31.

And no man is ſure of life] Which the Tyrant taketh away at his pleaſure. Or thus, The Tyrant himſelf, after he hath made all cock-ſure, as he may think, is not yet ſure of his owne life, dare not confide in his beſt friends: Dionyſius for inſtance, and our Richard the third. The Hebrew is, And he is not ſure of life.
