Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Job 25:5

_ _ “Look up even unto the moon” (Job 15:15). “Stars” here answer to “saints” (angels) there; “the moon” here to “the heavens” there. Even the “stars,” the most dazzling object to man’s eye, and the angels, of which the stars are emblems (Job 4:18; Revelation 9:1), are imperfect in His sight. Theirs is the light and purity but of creatures; His of the Creator.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Job 25:1-6.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Job 25:5

Moon — The moon, tho' bright and glorious, if compared with the Divine Majesty, is without any lustre or glory. By naming the moon, and thence proceeding to the stars, the sun is also included.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Job 25:5

Behold even to the moon, and it shineth not; yea, (d) the stars are not pure in his sight.

(d) If God shows his power, the moon and stars cannot have the light which is given to them, much less can man have any excellency but from God.
