G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Job 24:1-25

Passing from the personal aspect of his problem, Job considered it in its wider application. He asked the reason of God's noninterference, and then proceeded to describe the evidences of it. Men still existed whose whole activity was oppression. In other words, Job declared that the things which Eliphaz attributed to him are present in the world, and described them far more graphically than Eliphaz had, ending with the declaration: Yet God imputeth it not for folly. Continuing, he declared... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Job 24:1-25

Job 24. This chapter has since Merx in 1871 been subjected to much criticism, the general trend of which has been to deny the whole or a considerable part of the chapter to Job. Peake, however, considers that the chapter as a whole reflects Job’ s point of view, though alien elements are to be recognised in it. Davidson sums up the chapter under the heading: The Divine rectitude which Job misses in his own instance he equally misses in the broad field of the world. Job 24:1 asks why days of... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Job 24:15

The eye of the adulterer, i.e. the adulterer; but he mentions his eye, because the eye discerns the difference between light and darkness. The twilight, to wit, for the evening twilight, which is his opportunity. Saying in his heart, comforting himself with the thoughts of secretness and impunity. Disguiseth his face, Heb. putteth his face in secret; covers it with a vizard or cloak, that he may be undiscovered. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Job 24:1-25

CONTINUATION OF JOB’S REPLY TO ELIPHAZProsecutes his own view of the Divine government. Enlarges on the crimes of one part of men and the sufferings of another as the consequences of them, to shew that judgment is not executed on the ungodly in this world, and that men often suffer without anything in their own conduct to deserve it. The ungodly, however, not left unpunished; and their prosperity and power only for a time.I. Proposes a question for solution in reference to the Divine government... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Job 24:1-25

Chapter 24Now, why, seeing the times are not hidden from the Almighty, do they that know him not see his days? Some [now you've accused me of these things, but there are some] that remove the landmarks; and violently take away another man's flocks. And they drive away the ass of the fatherless, they take the widow's ox for a pledge. They turn the needy out of the way: the poor of the earth hide themselves together. Behold, as the wild asses in the desert, they go forth to their work; rising... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Job 24:1-25

Job 24:3 . They drive away the ass of the fatherless. In Job’s time there was no regular government or empire, to bring neighbouring tyrants to justice; proof sufficient that this book is of the highest antiquity. REFLECTIONS. The second part of Job’s reply turns, like chap. 12., on the wickedness of the world, and wickedness not bidden from the eyes of God. The bitter fountain in every age sends out its bitter streams. Our portraits come from holy men. Jeremiah represents Jerusalem as... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Job 24:1-25

Job 24:1-25Why, seeing times are not hidden from the Almighty.Great crimes not always followed by great punishment in this lifeI. Great crimes have prevailed on the earth from the earliest times. Amongst the crimes specified in this chapter there is--1. Theft. There were those who stole from others their lands and flocks, and robbed the widow and orphan of their food and clothing (Job 24:2-8). There is--2. Cruelty. “They plucked the fatherless from the breast,” made “men groan out of the city.”... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Job 24:15

Job 24:15 The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, saying, No eye shall see me: and disguiseth [his] face. Ver. 15. The eye also of the adulterer waiteth ] Observeth, expecteth, and longeth till it cometh. Ut videas illum non peccare infirmitate sed malitin, saith Vatablus. This showeth that he sinneth not of infirmity, but of forethought, malice, and wickedness; which he plotteth and plougheth, as the Scripture phraseth it, purveying for the flesh, Romans 13:14 , putrefying... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Job 24:15

15. Disguiseth his face Puts a veil over the face: Wetzstein thinks a woman’s veil. “In Syrian towns,” he says, “women’s clothing is always chosen for such nocturnal sin. The man disguises himself in an izar, which covers him from head to foot, takes the mendil, veil, and goes with a lantern (without which at night every person is seized by the street watchman as a suspicious person) unhindered into a strange house.” Juvenal speaks of the rank adulterer with his head muffled in a... read more
