Job36:18

Verſe 18. Becauſe there is wrath, beware leſt he take thee away with his ſtroak] Beza readeth it thus, Surely it is wrath, take heed leſt with ſtroakes it take thee away; i.e. Certainely the wrath of God doth in this thy calamitie moſt manifeſtly ſhew it ſelf. Oh beware leſt he double his ſtroakes, and beat thee to pieces for thy diſobedience and ſtubborneſſe. With the froward God will wreſtle, Pſal. 18.26. and adde to their miſeries ſeven times more, and ſeven times and ſeven to that, Levit. 26.18, 21, 24, 28.

Then a great ranſome cannot deliver thee] Heb. Turn thee aſide, or help thee to decline; that is, to eſcape, no though thou ſhouldſt offer thouſands of Rams, or ten thouſand Rivers of Oyl, as Mie. 6.7.
