This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Job_36:8 And if [they be] bound in fetters, [and] be holden in cords of affliction;
Ver. 8. And if they be bound in fetters] If it so happens, that through abuse of their prosperity and preferment, they wander, as they are men, out of the right way, and God sends out afflictions as his pursuivants to attack them, and lay them in cold irons for their correction, and to prevent judgment, Psa_107:10.
And be holden in cords of affliction] Or poverty; so that irretiti funibus misere vixerint (as the Tigurines here translate), they have only prisoners’ pittances, which will neither keep them alive nor suffer them to die.
