Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Job 22:14

_ _ in the circuit of heaven — only, not taking any part in earthly affairs. Job is alleged as holding this Epicurean sentiment (Lamentations 3:44; Isaiah 29:15; Isaiah 40:27; Jeremiah 23:24; Ezekiel 8:12; Psalms 139:12).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Job 22:5-14.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Job 22:14

Walketh — His delight is in heaven, which is worthy of his care, but he will not burden himself with the care of earth: which was the opinion of many Heathen philosophers, and, as they fancied, was Job's opinion also.
