Chap. 18. e4n 6xpofrtion upon the 73aokof J o B. Ver(, r5, Therefore, thirdly , It is concluded that by his companions are meant fach as fometimes dwelt about him or neere him Tholeneighbours, whom he living had oppre(led, and wrong- ed, vexed, and exputfed out of their dwelling, even they (hall comewen he is dead, and take poflefíìon of his dwelling, they !hall enter upon all. Mr. Calvin, tranflacion comes neare this explication ; He that is noneofhis /hall dwell in his tent; He jgnes tholewords which we let laic, ( and render Becarefe it is none of his) to the firft part of the verfe, and gives them not as a reafon why evill fhould dwell in his houle but as a defcription of that perfon, who (Moulddwell in his horde; He that is none ofhis fhe:dl dwell in his tents; that is, the man that had nothing to doewith him, or was ameere ftranger to him, (hall come ,and dwell in his tent.

Thus the Lord tells the Inhabi- tant ofMare/bah, that he will bring them anheire, (Mie. r. 1 S. ) and who was this ? not oneof their blood and linage, but a Iran- get, the Affyrian (hould be their heire, and make himfelfeLord by the fword of all their podlefltons.

For feeing that the punifhment of a wicked man after death is here defcribed, themeaning appeares thus ;; It Ad dwell, etc. That is, deftruíllion ormifery 'balldwell in hishoufe.
