Wesley's Notes for Job 36:12

36:10 Openeth - He inclines them to hearken to what God speaks by the rod.

36:13 Cry not - Unto God for help. Bindeth - With the cords of affliction.

36:14 Die - They provoke God to cut them off before their time. Unclean - Or, Sodomites; to whose destruction, he may allude. They shall die by some exemplary stroke of Divine vengeance. Yea, and after death, their life is among the unclean, the unclean spirits, the devil and his angels, for ever excluded from the new Jerusalem, into which no unclean thing shall enter.
