Job 9:24
_ _ Referring to righteous “judges,” in antithesis to “the wicked” in the parallel first clause, whereas the wicked oppressor often has the earth given into his hand, the righteous judges are led to execution — culprits had their faces covered preparatory to execution (Esther 7:8). Thus the contrast of the wicked and righteous here answers to that in Job 9:23.
_ _ if not, where and who? — If God be not the cause of these anomalies, where is the cause to be found, and who is he? |
Job 9:24
The earth — The dominion over it. Into — Into their power. As good men are frequently scourged, so the wicked are advanced. Faces — Meantime he covers the faces of wise and good men, fit to be judges, and buries them alive in obscurity, perhaps suffers them to be condemned, and their faces covered as criminals, by those to whom the earth is given. This is daily done: if it be not God that doth it, where and who is he that doth? |
