Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Job 25:2

_ _ Power and terror, that is, terror-inspiring power.

_ _ peace in his high places — implying that His power is such on high as to quell all opposition, not merely there, but on earth also. The Holy Ghost here shadowed forth Gospel truths (Colossians 1:20; Ephesians 1:10).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Job 25:1-6.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Job 25:2

Dominion — Sovereign power over all persons and things. Fear — Terror, that which justly makes him dreadful to all men, and especially to all that undertake to dispute with him. He — This clause, as well as the following verse, seems to be added to prove God's dominion and dreadfulness: he keepeth and ruleth all persons and things in heaven, in peace and harmony. The angels, though they be very numerous, all own his sovereignty, and acquiesce in his pleasure. The stars, tho' vast in their bulk, and various in their motions: exactly keep the order which God hath appointed them: and therefore it is great folly for thee to quarrel with the methods of God's dealings with thee.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Job 25:2

(a) Dominion and fear [are] with him, he maketh peace in his high places.

(a) His purpose is to prove that although God may try and afflict the just, yet soon after he sends prosperity, and because he did not do so to Job he concludes that he is wicked.
