Iyov 38:15 Meaning and Commentary

Job 38:15

And from the wicked their light is withholden
Whose light is darkness, and whose day is the night, of which they are deprived when the morning light breaks forth; see ( Job 24:17 ) ; it may be figuratively understood of the light of prosperity being removed from them, or the light of life, when they shall be sent into utter darkness;

and the high arm shall be broken;
their power weakened and made useless; even the power of such wicked men who have had a large share of it, and have used it in a tyrannical manner; and especially this will be their case at death; see ( Isaiah 14:10 Isaiah 14:12 ) .

13 That it might seize the ends of ha’aretz, that the resha’im be shaken out of it?

14 It is changed like chomer (clay) under the khotam (seal); and they stand out like a garment.

15 And from the resha’im their ohr is denied, and the upraised zero’a shall be broken.

16 Hast thou entered into the springs of the yam? Or hast thou walked in the recesses of the tehom?

17 Have the sha’arei mavet been disclosed unto thee? Or hast thou seen the sha’arei tzalmavet?
