Job 24:12
_ _ Men — rather, “mortals” (not the common Hebrew for “men”); so the Masoretic vowel points read as English Version. But the vowel points are modern. The true reading is, “The dying,” answering to “the wounded” in the next clause, so Syriac. Not merely in the country (Job 24:11), but also in the city there are oppressed sufferers, who cry for help in vain. “From out of the city”; that is, they long to get forth and be free outside of it (Exodus 1:11; Exodus 2:23).
_ _ wounded — by the oppressor (Ezekiel 30:24).
_ _ layeth not folly — takes no account of (by punishing) their sin (“folly” in Scripture; Job 1:22). This is the gist of the whole previous list of sins (Acts 17:30). Umbreit with Syriac reads by changing a vowel point, “Regards not their supplication.” |

Groan — Under grievous oppressions. Soul — The life or blood of those who are wounded to death, as this word properly signifies, crieth aloud to God for vengeance. Yet — Yet God doth not punish them. |
