John Trapp on Job 40:13

Verſe 13. Hide them in the duſt together] Make a hand of them all at once, as God can do his enemies by raking them all into the grave; yea, turning into hell; whole Nations that forget God, a whole rabble of rebels that fight againſt heaven, he can ſoon lay them low enough, even in that ſlimy valley, where are many already like them, and more ſhall come after them, chap. 21.31, 32. Now when God biddeth Job do all this, who was himſelf lying in the duſt, full of ſores and ſorrows, how could he but he greatly aſhamed, and affected with grief for his former follies?

And bind[illegible: 1 letter] their faces in ſecret] As Hamans face was covered when the King had ſentenced him, Eſth. 7.8. See the Note there: Or rather, as dead-mens faces uſe to be bound up and covered: for we like not to look on deaths face; Abraham was deſirous to bury his dead out of his ſight, Gen. 23.4. though ſhe had once been the deſire of his eyes, Ezek. 24.16. Lazarus came out of his grave with his face bound about with a napkin, Job. 11.14. See the like done to our Saviour, Job. 20.6, 7. though there was as little need to have done it, as was of thoſe ſweet ſpices brought by the good women to anoint his body, which could not ſee corruption, Mark 16.1.
