Job 20:7 [Yet] he shall perish for ever like his own dung: they which have seen him shall say, Where [is] he?
Ver. 7. Yet he shall perish for ever like his own dung] Than the which nothing is more filthy and detestable. See this exemplified in Herod, Haman, Boniface VIII, bloody Bonner buried in a muck hill, &c. The word rendered dung hath its denomination from rolling, because it is rolled out of doors, and swept out of sight. Many instances hereof might be given in the pristine and modern persecutors, punished with ignominious and disgraceful ends. Sisera and Jabin perished at Endor, and became as dung for the earth, Psalms 83:10. Jehoram died undesired, Julian the apostate abhorred. God hath for such a besom of destruction, Isaiah 14:23 .
They which have seen him shall say, Where is he?] They which have seen him with wonder shall now see him with horror, when they see him at such an under, such an ebb, such a dead low water. See this exemplified in that proud Chaldean, Isaiah 14:4; Isaiah 14:12; Isaiah 14:16 .
Tam subito casu, quae valuere, ruunt.
