Psalms39:11-12
Verſ. 11. When thou with rebukes doeſt correct man for iniquity] Or, Shouldeſt thou but correct him according to his iniquity; correct him I ſay, or inſtruct him. Kimchi his Note here is, Morbi ſunt interpretes inter Deum & homines increpantes, ut Job 33.19. Diſeaſes are Gods chiding meſſages, or reall rebukes.
Thou makeſt his beauty] Heb. What ſoever in him is deſirable, all his prime and pride, pulchritudinem & praeſtantiam, his beauty and bravery, as that of Jonas his gourd.
To conſume away like a moth] Heb. To melt away as a moth, which is eaſily cruſht betwixt ones fingers, Job 4.19. or actively, as a moth,Quam[illegible: 1 letter]is [illegible: 1 word] palam fulmine è [illegible: 1 word] Vat. caeco morſu doth ſecretly and ſuddenly conſume the moſt precious garment, ſo doſt thou the Wicked by thy ſecret curſe, though themſelves or others little obſerve it.
Surely every man is vanity, Selah] See verſ. 5.
