Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Job 25:3

Job 25:3. Is there any number of his armies? Of his angels, and stars, and other creatures, all which are his hosts, wholly submitting themselves to his will, to be and to do whatever he pleases. And, therefore, how insolent and unreasonable a thing it is to quarrel with him, or resist his will! Upon whom doth not his light arise? The light of the sun is communicated to all parts of the world. This is a faint resemblance of the cognizance and care which God takes of the whole creation.... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Job 25:4

Job 25:4. How then can man be justified with God? That is, before God’s tribunal, to which thou dost so boldly appeal. Thou mayest plead thy cause with thy fellow-worms, as we are, and expect to be justified; but wo to thee, if the great God undertake to plead his cause against thee: how severely and certainly wouldest thou be condemned! The word used for man here, אנושׁ , enosh, signifies miserable man, which supposes him to be sinful; and that such a creature should quarrel with that... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Job 25:5

Job 25:5. Behold, even to the moon, and it shineth not The moon, though bright and glorious, if compared with the divine majesty, is without any lustre or glory. By his naming the moon, and thence proceeding to the stars, he shows that he includes the sun also, and all other creatures, and signifies that the brightest and most glorious objects in nature shine not when compared with God’s ineffable and essential brightness. Indeed, the highest order of beings make but small advances to the... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Job 25:6

Job 25:6. How much less man, that is a worm Mean, vile, and impotent; proceeding from corruption, and returning to it. And the son of man For miserable man, in the last clause, he here puts the son of any man, to show that this is true, even of the greatest and best of men. Let us then wonder at the condescension of God, in taking such worms into covenant and communion with himself! read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Job 25:1-6

Bildad speaks and Job replies (25:1-26:14)It seems either that Job’s friends have no answer to what he says or that they are tired of arguing with him and see no point in continuing the debate. Bildad has only a brief speech, to which Job replies, and Zophar does not speak at all.In an effort to bring Job to repentance, Bildad impresses upon him the greatness of the God with whom Job argues. His kingdom is all-powerful, his armies of angelic beings more than can be counted (25:1-3). In... read more
