Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Job 34:23

For he will not lay upon man more than right - Very various translations have been given of this verse. According to our common version, it means that God will not deal with man in such a manner as to give him just reason for calling in question the rectitude of the divine dealings. He shall in no case receive more than his sins deserve, so as to give him cause for complaint. This is undoubtedly a correct sentiment; but it may be doubted whether it is the sense conveyed by the original. Umbreit... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Job 34:24

He shall break in pieces - He crushes or destroys the great. He is not intimidated by their wealth, their rank, or their number.Without number - Margin, more correctly, “searching out.” That is, he does it without the protracted process of a judicial investigation. The Hebrew word used here (חקר chêqer) means properly “a searching out,” “an examination”; and the meaning here is, that there is no need of his going into a protracted investigation into the lives of wicked people before he brings... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Job 34:25

Therefore he knoweth their works - Or, “Because he knoweth their works.” The word (לכן lākên) here rendered “therefore” is evidently used as denoting that since or because he was intimately acquainted with all which they did, he could justly bring vengeance upon them without long investigation.And he overturneth them in the night - literally, “he turneth night;” meaning, probably, he turns night upon them; that is, he brings calamity upon them. The word “night” is often used to denote... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Job 34:20-21

Job 34:20-21. In a moment shall they die Whensoever God doth but give the word, and send his summons for them. The rich and the prince, no less than the poor, must submit to the law of death, which God hath imposed upon all men without exception. And the people shall be troubled Hebrew, יגעשׁו , jegognashu, concutientur, tremiscent, shall be shaken, shall tremble, at the approach of death, or through the calamities which God will bring upon them. Whole nations, or people, are no... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Job 34:22-23

Job 34:22-23. There is no darkness, &c. The workers of iniquity may flatter themselves, or deceive others, by covering their wicked actions with plausible pretences and professions, but they cannot deceive God, nor conceal their ways or hearts from his inspection. He will not lay upon man more than right More or heavier punishments than they deserve, or than are proportionable to their sins, which he accurately observes, and therefore can adapt punishments to them; that he should... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Job 34:24-26

Job 34:24-26 . He shall break in pieces mighty men, &c. Neither their greatness nor their numbers can secure them from the stroke of God’s justice; and set others in their stead Give away their power and dignity to others, who shall come in their place. Therefore he knoweth their works That is, it appears from this that he knows all their evil works, because he judges and punishes them for them; and he overturneth them in the night When they are at rest and secure; or, he turneth... read more

Donald C. Fleming

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Job 34:1-37

The justice of God (34:1-35:16)When Job does not reply to Elihu’s challenge, Elihu turns to the onlookers and repeats some of Job’s rash statements about the injustice of God (34:1-6). Let them judge for themselves. Surely such words prove Job’s wickedness (7-9).God is not unjust, says Elihu, and no one can tell him what to do. He is the governor of the universe (10-13). He is the source of all life and, if he wished, he could bring all life to an end (14-15). God governs perfectly and shows no... read more

"For his eyes are upon the ways of a man,And he seeth all his goings.There is no darkness, nor thick gloom,Where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.For he needeth not further to consider a man,That he should go before God in judgment.He breaketh in pieces mighty men in ways past finding out,And setteth others in their stead.Therefore he taketh knowledge of their works;And he overturneth them in the night, so that they are destroyed.He striketh them as wicked menIn the open sight of... read more
