John Trapp on Job 26:10

Verſe 10.Trem. He hath compaſſed the waters with bounds] Decreto circinavit ſuperficiem aquarum: He hath as it were with a pair of Compaſſes drawne a circle about the ſea, that it may not paſſe to drown the earth. Confer chap. 38.8, 10, 11. Pſal. 33.7. and 89.10. and 104 9. Prov. 8.29. So he drew a circle round about the earth, Prov. 8.27. doing all with infinite Wiſdome, Pondere, menſura numero, &c. He founded the earth not upon ſolid Rocks, but fluid waters. And that it floteth not upon them, nor is ſhaken with them (as oft as there is a tempeſt in the Ocean that begirteth it) neither yet is overflowed by them, this is the wonderful-work of God. Ariſtotle in his Book De Mirabil[illegible: 1 letter]bus, admireth it, and acknowledgeth Gods providence, which elſewhere he denyeth. Terminum aquis preſcripſit, ſaith Job here. And this either he had from Moſes. Gen. 1.10. or, if he lived before Moſes, as it is moſt likely he did; he had it, as he had many other things, by tradition from the Fathers. Saylers tell us, that as they draw nigh to the ſhore, when they enter into a haven, they run as it were down hill, And yet men are ſaid to go down (not up) to the ſea in ſhips, Pſal. 107.23. See a reaſon hereof in this Text, and Pſal: 104.96. An vero non ſtupendum eſt? ſaith Lavater. But is it not a wonderful thing, that ſo fierce an Element, ſo huge a maſſe of waters, toſſed by the winds, ſhould be bounded and bridled by ſands, confined and kept within their preſcribed place and ſhore? Eſpecially if the water be (as ſome affirm) ten times bigger then the earth, the air then the water, the fire then the air.

Ʋntil the day and night come to an end] Heb. Until the conſummation of light with darkneſſe; that is, till time ſhall be no more, till the end of the world, when all things ſhal be let looſe to devaſtation, and the ſea ſhall overflow the Land again, as that then it ſhall, ſome would gather from this Text.
