Commentary on Job 12:21

Theological / Devotional

Weakeneth the strength. Literally, “looses the belt.” The Orientals wore loose flowing robes, which were secured by a girdle, or belt, about the loins. When they worked, ran, or traveled, their robes were girded up. To loosen the belt means to impede such activity.
