Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

See commentary on Job 38:12-15.


Job 38:15

_ _ their light — by which they work; namely, darkness, which is their day (Job 24:17), is extinguished by daylight.

_ _ high — Rather, “The arm uplifted” for murder or other crime is broken; it falls down suddenly, powerless, through their fear of light.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Job 38:12-24.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Job 38:15

Withheld — That light which enjoyed by others is withholden from them, either by their own choice, because they chuse darkness rather than light; or by the judgment of God, or the magistrate, by whom they are cut off from the light of the living. Arms — Their great strength which they used to the oppression of others.
