Anger Blast Breath Consumed Cut Destroyed Destruction Nostrils Perish Spirit Takes Wind Wrath
4:9 By the {f} blast of God they perish, and by the breath of his nostrils are they consumed.
(f) He shows that God needs no great preparation to destroy his enemies: for he can do it with the blast of his mouth.
4:9 The blast - Of his nostrils, as it follows; by his anger, which in men shews itself, in the nostrils, by hot and frequent breathings there, by a secret, but mighty judgment of God, they are blown away as chaff by the wind.
4:7-11 Eliphaz argues, 1. That good men were never thus ruined. But there is one event both to the righteous and to the wicked, Ec 9:2, both in life and death; the great and certain difference is after death. Our worst mistakes are occasioned by drawing wrong views from undeniable truths. 2. That wicked men were often thus ruined: for the proof of this, Eliphaz vouches his own observation. We may see the same every day.
