Job 5:23 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

Thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field Thou shalt be free from any annoyance thereby, as if they had made an inviolable league with thee. It is a bold metaphor, but such are frequent in the Scriptures, as also in other authors. And the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee This is an addition to the former privilege; they shall not hurt thee, Job 5:22. Nay, they shall befriend thee, as being at peace with thee. Our covenant with God is a covenant with all the creatures, that they shall do us no hurt, but serve and be ready to do us good.

Job 5:23

23 For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field: and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee.
