Commentary on Job 34:20

Theological / Devotional

Troubled at midnight. This text points to the imminence of catastrophe. Disease, earthquake, flood, violence, fire, accident, all these killers lurk nearby. They strike when least expected — “at midnight” — and take their toll among both rich and poor.

Without hand. Literally, “not with hand,” that is, not with human hands (see Dan. 8:25).
