Shall not his excellency, &c.— His majesty shall wholly confound you, and his terror shall fall upon you; Job 13:12. Your boasting shall be like unto dust; your pride like a heap of sand, Job 13:13. Hear me in silence and I will speak; I will deliver that which hath been known to me. Houbigant. Heath renders the 12th verse, Are not your lessons empty proverbs? Your high-flown speeches, what are they, but heaps of dung? Job refers, says he, to those general maxims of the course of providence towards wicked men, which they had thrown out to insinuate to him that he was certainly guilty of some great wickedness, for which the wrath of God had overtaken him.
