The Pulpit Commentary - Job 24:1-12

Examples of God's incomprehensible dealings. I. DEEDS OF VIOLENCE AND FRAUD . ( Job 24:1-4 .) "Why are not times laid up," i.e. reserved, determined by the Almighty, "and why do those who know him ( i.e. his friends) not see his days?"—the days when he arises to judgment, days of revelation, days of the Son of man ( Ezekiel 30:3 ; Luke 17:22 ). Then comes a series of acts of violence, oppression, persecution, permitted by God the removal of landmarks ( Deuteronomy 19:14 ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 24:1-22

Apparent anomalies in the Divine judgment. Job again points to the anomalous conditions of human life—goodness, which has its approval in every breast, and on which, by universal consent of belief, a Divine blessing rests, is nevertheless often overcast with the shadow of calamity; and, on the other hand, evil-doing, which merits only judgment, affliction, and correction, is often found to prosper. To it outward events seem to be favourable. Men sin without let or hindrance. Apparently,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 24:7

They cause the naked to lodge without clothing ; rather, they lie all night naked , without clothing. The marauders are still the subject of the narrative. When engaged in their raids, they endure to pass the night without clothing, as the Bedouins are said to do to this day, so that they have no covering in the cold. They are so bent upon plunder that they do not mind these inconveniences. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 24:8

They are wet with the showers of the mountains, and embrace the rock for want of a shelter . Further unpleasant consequences of marauding, hut endured without complaint by the wild robber-tribes. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 24:8

A threefold religious emblem; of the shelter of the rock. I. AN EMBLEM OF THE SINNER 'S MISERABLE CONDITION . 1 . Exposed to a storm. Like the unhappy victims of tyrannical oppression, men, in their unconverted state, are liable to be overtaken by the tempest of God's righteous wrath and indignation against sin ( Psalms 11:6 ; Romans 1:18 ; Colossians 3:6 ; 1 Thessalonians 1:10 ; Revelation 6:16 , Revelation 6:17 ), which will not assail the body merely, but... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 24:9

They pluck the fatherless from the breast . Other oppressors, not of the marauding class, but dwellers in towns ( Job 24:12 ), are so cruel that they tear the unweaned child of the debtor from the mother's breast, as satisfaction for a debt, and carry him off into slavery. And take a pledge of the poor ; literally, take in pledge that which is on the poor— in other words, their clothing. They will not lend to them on any other terms, and so force them to part with their garments, and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 24:10

They cause him to go naked without clothing ; rather, they go naked without clothing. The effects of the oppression on its victims are now traced. First of all, the poor man, whose only wrap or cloak has been taken in pledge, is com-polled to go naked, or almost naked, both day and night, exposed alike to extremes of heat and cold. Secondly, he is compelled to reap and bind and carry home the sheaves of his oppressor, while he himself is half famished with hunger. The second clause of the... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Job 24:7

They cause the naked to lodge without clothing - They strip others of their clothing, and leave them destitute.That they have no covering in the cold - All travelers tell us, that though the day is intensely hot in the deserts of Arabia, yet the nights are often intensely cold. Hence, the sufferings of those who are plundered, and who have nothing to defend themselves from the cold air of the night. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Job 24:8

They are wet with the showers of the mountains - That is, the poor persons, or the travelers whom they have robbed. Hills collect the clouds, and showers seem to pour down from the mountains. These showers often collect and pour down so suddenly that there is scarcely time to seek a shelter.And embrace the rock for want of a shelter - Take refuge beneath a projecting rock. The robbers drive them away from their homes, or plunder them of their tents, and leave them to find a shelter from the... read more
