Job33:22

Verſe 22 Yea his ſoul draweth neer unto the grave] His ſoul, that is, His body, as ver. 18. for Elihu was no Mortalliſt, neither dreamt he of a Pſychopannychia. He is in the very confines of death, and no wayes likely to recover, he is free among the dead as the Pſalmiſt hath it.

And his life to the deſtroyers] Lethalibus malis, to deadly evils, ſaith Tr[illegible: 1 letter]mellius. Mortiferis; i.e. Morbis, to thoſe meſſengers of death, deadly Diſeaſes, ſaith Vatablus. To thoſe that kill; viz.Gentiles multa de Parcis fabulati ſunt. to the Angels, by whom God ſometimes deſtroyeth men, as 2 Sam. 24.16, 17. ſaith Piſcator. To enemies, ſay other. Pollinctoribus to the Bier-carryers, ſay the Tigurines, and ſo Beza paraphraſeth: ſo that hee ſtands not in need of any remedy or help of any thing more, then of thoſe who ſhould carry his carcaſs unto the grave.
