Job 12:25 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

They grope, like men that cannot see their way. In the dark without light; two phrases expressing the same thing, emphatically to express their profound darkness. Like a drunken man, who reels hither and thither without any certainty. So they sometimes take one course, and sometimes another, as resolving to try all experiments, and indeed not knowing what to do.

Job 12:25

25 They grope in the dark without light, and he maketh them to staggerh like a drunken man.
