Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Job 24:15
Job 24:15. The eye also of the adulterer— The 16th verse appears to refer to the thief or house-breaker, mentioned Job 24:14, in which case this verse must stand in a parenthesis. See Heath and Schultens. I would just observe, that the Syriac and Arabic render the 16th verse, In the dark he seeketh out houses: a translation which, if admitted, will very well connect the 15th and the 16th verses. The author of the Observations seems to be of this opinion, p. 97, where, speaking of the manner of... read more

2. Job’s third reply to Eliphaz chs. 23-24Job temporarily ignored Eliphaz’s groundless charges of sin and proceeded to reflect on the problem of God’s injustice."The first part of this speech is superb. The option placed before Job by Eliphaz has clarified his thinking. He has come to quite different conclusions, and he expresses them in a soliloquy, for he does not appear to be addressing either Eliphaz or God." [Note: Andersen, p. 207.] read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Job 24:13-17
Job’s frustration 23:13-24:17God’s irresistible power and inscrutable behavior made Job afraid (Job 23:13-17). Nevertheless he determined to confront God with His apparent injustice.Job could not understand why God did not always judge overt sin quickly (Job 24:1-12). Most people still have the same question. He mentioned three sins specifically: removing boundary landmarks and thereby appropriating someone else’s land, stealing flocks of sheep, and mistreating the weak. Job could not see why... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Job 24:1-25
Job’s Seventh Speech (concluded)1-25. Job continues to express his perplexity at the ways of Providence in the ordering of the world. The poor and the weak suffer; violence and wrong go unpunished.1. Render, ’Why are times not laid up’ (i.e. set apart for doing justice) ’by the Almighty, and why do not those who know Him see His days?’ The last clause means, Why do not the godly see signs of divine retribution?2-12. Those who commit open violent crimes are left unpunished. 2. Remove the... read more

Job 24:8 In his Week on the Concord (Tuesday), Thoreau quotes this passage from Belknap, the historian of the State, upon the mountains and the rain: 'In the mountainous parts of the country the ascent of vapours, and their formation into clouds, is a curious and entertaining object. The vapours are seen rising in small columns like smoke from many chimneys. When risen to a certain height, they spread, meet, condense, and are attracted to the mountains where they either distil in gentle dews,... read more

XX.WHERE IS ELOAH?Job 23:1-17; Job 24:1-25Job SPEAKSTHE obscure couplet with which Job begins appears to involve some reference to his whole condition alike of body and mind."Again today, my plaint, my rebellion! The hand upon me is heavier than my groanings."I must speak of my trouble and you will count it rebellion. Yet, if I moan and sigh, my pain and weariness are more than excuse. The crisis of faith is with him, a protracted misery, and hope hangs trembling in the balance. The false... read more

CHAPTERS 23-24 Job’s Reply 1. O that I knew where I may find Him (Job 23:1-8 ) 2. Trusting yet doubting (Job 23:10-17 ) 3. Hath God failed? (Job 24:1-12 ) 4. Job’s further testimony as to the wicked (Job 24:13-25 ) Job 23:1-9 . Job here does not disprove at once the false charges of Eliphaz. He can afford to wait till later, till their mouths are completely silenced. Then he speaks the final word. He acknowledgeth that he is still rebellious.

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Job 24:1-25
Job’s reply to Eliphaz (23:1-24:25)Again Job says that he is not rebelling against God or running away from him as his friends claim. On the contrary he wants to meet God, so that he can present his case to him and listen to God’s answer (23:1-5). He is confident that God will declare him innocent of the charges people have made against him (6-7).No matter where Job has searched for God, he has not found him. He cannot see God, but God can see him. God knows he is upright, and one day, when... read more
