If they obey God's admonition and command; they shall spend their days in prosperity They shall be restored to their former prosperity, and shall live and die in it. This he says according to the tenor of God's promises, especially in the Old Testament state of the church, and according to the common course of God's providence in those days, which Elihu and other good men had observed; and their years in pleasures Abounding in worldly comforts, and delighting themselves in the love and favour of God thereby manifested to them. But if they obey not If the righteous, spoken of Job 36:7, opposed to the hypocrites, mentioned in the next verse, be disobedient to the divine admonitions; they shall perish by the sword They shall be cut off by some extraordinary or remarkable judgment; and they shall die without knowledge Shall die in or for their inadvertency or folly, or, because they are without knowledge, as בבלי דעת, bibli dagnath, may be rendered, because they are ignorant, or brutish, and will not learn the lessons which God so plainly teaches them.
