From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Behold, he breaketh down -None can repair what he pulls down. Cities and towns he can devote to ruin by fire, or earthquake, or the pestilence, and so completely destroy them that they can never be rebuilt. We may now refer to such illustrations as Sodom, Babylon, Petra, Tyre, Herculaneum, and Pompeii, as full proof of what is here affirmed. He shutteth up a man -He can shut up a man in such difficulties and straits that he cannot extricate himself; seeJob 11:10.
