Job 12:5
_ _ Rather, “a torch” (lamp) is an object of contempt in the thoughts of him who rests securely (is at ease), though it was prepared for the falterings of the feet [Umbreit] (Proverbs 25:19). “Thoughts” and “feet” are in contrast; also rests “securely,” and “falterings.” The wanderer, arrived at his night-quarters, contemptuously throws aside the torch which had guided his uncertain steps through the darkness. As the torch is to the wanderer, so Job to his friends. Once they gladly used his aid in their need; now they in prosperity mock him in his need. |
Job 12:5
Slip with his feet — And fall into trouble; tho' he had formerly shone as a lamp, he is then looked upon as a lamp going out, as the snuff of a candle, which we throw to the ground and tread upon; and accordingly is despised in the thought of him that is at ease. |
Job 12:5
(d) He that is ready to slip with [his] feet [is as] a lamp despised in the thought of him that is at ease.
(d) As the rich do not esteem a light or torch that goes out, so he despised he that falls from prosperity to adversity. |
