Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Job 28:22

_ _ That is, the abodes of destruction and of the dead. “Death” put for Sheol (Job 30:23; Job 26:6; Psalms 9:13).

_ _ We have [only] heard — the report of her. We have not seen her. In the land of the living (Job 28:13) the workings of Wisdom are seen, though not herself. In the regions of the dead she is only heard of, her actings on nature not being seen (Ecclesiastes 9:10).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Job 28:20-28.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Job 28:22

Death — The grave, the place of the dead, to 'which these things are here ascribed, as they are to the depths, and to the sea, by a common figure. Though they cannot give an account of it themselves yet there is a world, on which these dark regions border, where we shall see it clearly. Have patience, says death: I will fetch thee shortly to a place where even this wisdom shall be found. When the veil of flesh is rent, and the interposing clouds are scattered, we shall know what God doth, though we know not now.
