Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Job 13:25

_ _ (Leviticus 26:36; Psalms 1:4). Job compares himself to a leaf already fallen, which the storm still chases hither and thither.

_ _ break — literally, “shake with (Thy) terrors.” Jesus Christ does not “break the bruised reed” (Isaiah 42:3, Isaiah 27:8).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Job 13:23-28.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Job 13:25

Leaf — One that can no more resist thy power, than a leaf, or a little dry straw can resist the wind or fire.
