Job 38:15 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

And, or, rather, but, from the wicked their light is withholden The earth, and the men and the things in it, have the comfort and benefit of the light, but so have not the wicked; they enjoy not its beautiful approach; either, because they shun it, and choose darkness rather than light, their deeds being evil; or, by the judgment of God, or of the magistrate, by whom they are shut out through imprisonment, or cut off by capital punishment, from the light of the living. And the high arm shall be broken Their great strength, which they used tyrannically to the oppression and crushing of others.
