Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Job 24:14
Job 24:14. The murderer rising with the light— In broad day-light the murderer would arise, and slay the poor and the defenceless. See Micah 7:6. The two verbs arise and slay signify, by a common Hebraism, arise to slay. read more

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

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Job 24:14
14. with the light—at early dawn, while still dark, when the traveller in the East usually sets out, and the poor laborer to his work; the murderous robber lies in wait then (Psalms 10:8). is as a thief—Thieves in the East steal while men sleep at night; robbers murder at early dawn. The same man who steals at night, when light dawns not only robs, but murders to escape detection. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Job 24:1-25
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
