Job 39:12
12. believe—trust.
seed—produce (1Sa 8:15). into thy barn—rather, "gather (the contents of) thy threshing-floor" [MAURER]; the corn threshed on it. Psalms 14:7
7. captivity—denotes any great evil.
Zion—God's abode, from which He revealed His purposes of mercy, as He now does by the Church (compare Ps 3:4; 20:2), and which He rules and in which He does all other things for the good of His people (Eph 1:22). Proverbs 12:14
13, 14. The wicked is snared, &c.—The sentiment expanded. While the wicked, such as liars, flatterers, &c., fall by their own words, the righteous are unhurt. Their good conduct makes friends, and God rewards them.
