Job 22:16

“Which were cut down out of time, etc.] Sent out of time into eternity, time being no more with men, and they no longer in time, when death seizes upon them; or “before time” f854, before the common term of life, which, according to the course of nature, and human probability, they might have arrived unto: as this is spoken of the men of the old world that lived before the flood, when the lives of men were very long, it is highly probable there, were many that were destroyed by the general deluge, who, had it not for that, might have lived many hundreds of years, according to the usual course: or “without time” f855, without any delay suddenly, at once, at an unawares; for, though they had…”

“Which were cut down - Who were suddenly destroyed by a flood. On the word used here (קמט qâmaṭ) see the notes at Job 16:8. It occurs only in that place and this.

Out of time - Hebrew “And there was no time;” that is, it was done in a moment, or suddenly. No time was given them; no delay was granted. The floods rushed over them, and nothing could stay them. Whose foundation was…”

“Out of - Before their time. A flood - Who, together with their foundation, the earth and all their supports and enjoyments in it, were destroyed by the general deluge. Job 22:17”

“cut down: Job 15:32; Psa 55:23, Psa 102:24; Ecc 7:17 whose foundation was overflown with a flood: Heb. a flood was poured upon their foundation, Gen 7:11, Gen 7:17-24; Mat 24:37-39; Pe1 3:19, Pe1 3:20; Pe2 2:5 Job 22:17”
