Job 22:16 - Exposition

Which were cut down (rather, swept or snatched away ) out of time ; i.e. before their time , prematurely. Whose foundation was overflown with a flood. Some suppose an allusion to the general destruction of mankind by the Noachian Deluge; but perhaps no more is meant than that the supports of the wicked are ordinarily loosened and carried away by a flood of calamity. No single event need be referred to.
