Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Job 4:18

_ _ folly — Imperfection is to be attributed to the angels, in comparison with Him. The holiness of some of them had given way (2 Peter 2:4), and at best is but the holiness of a creature. Folly is the want of moral consideration [Umbreit].

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Job 4:12-21.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Job 4:18

Servants — They are called his servants by way of eminency, that general name being here appropriated to the chief of the kind, to intimate that sovereign dominion which the great God hath over the angels, and much more over men. With folly — Without all doubt, this refers to those angels who foolishly and wickedly fell from God.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Behold, he put no trust in his servants; and his (m) angels he charged with folly:

(m) If God finds imperfection in his angels when they are not maintained by his power, how much more shall he lay folly to man's charge when he would justify himself against God?
