Job 38:13 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

That this morning light should in a moment spread itself over the face of the whole earth, from one end of the hemisphere to the other. Shaken out of it, from the face of the earth. And this effect the morning light hath upon the wicked, partly because it discovers them, and drives them into their lurking holes; whereas the darkness hides them, and draws them forth, and gives them opportunity to execute their villanies without observation, Job 24:15-17; and partly because it brings them to condign punishment, the morning being the most fit and the most usual time for executing judgment; of which see Psalms 101:8 Jeremiah 21:12.

Job 38:13

13 That it might take hold of the endsd of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it?
