John Trapp on Job 30:23

Verſe 23. For I know that thou wilt bring me to death] Such hard thoughts had Job of God, and ſuch heavy thoughts of himſelf. Nam experior, mors avocat me. ſo Tremellius: For I feel it, death calleth me away. Sic ludis mecum, ut facilè conjiciam mihi moriendum eſſe ſaith Brentius: Thou ſo dallieſt with me. that I plainly perceive I muſt ſhortly dye, there's no avoiding of it.2 Cor. 1.8.9, 10 Thus good Job was preſſed out of meaſure; above ſtrength, inſomuch as be deſpaired even of life, and had the ſentence (or denunciation) of death in himſelf, &c. But God was better to him then his fears, and delivered him from ſo great a death: this is uſual.

Qui nil ſper are poteſt, deſperet nihil.

And to the houſe appointed for all living] That is, the grave, Pſal 49.14. [non-Latin text not transcribed] and 89.48. that Congregation houſe of all living, (as heaven is called, the Congregation houſe of the firſt born, Heb. 12.23.) the publick or common meeting place, as Iſai. 14.13. the houſe of conſtitution or aſſignation to all living (as the Hebrew here hath it) that is, to all men, who are by an excellency called, every creature, Mark 16.15 as being the beſt living creatures upon earth.
