Job 34:22 - John Trapp Complete Commentary

Bible Comments

Job 34:22 [There is] no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.

Ver. 22. There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, &c.] Sinners would fain shroud and secrete themselves from God's all seeing eye; for which end they search all corners, with Adam, and hope that their evil pranks and practices shall never come to light; but that cannot be, for not only darkness and the shadow of death, but hell also, is naked before him, and destruction hath no covering, Job 26:6; See Trapp on " Job 26:6 " See also Psa 139:12 Amo 9:2-3 Hebrews 4:13. See Trapp on " Psa 139:12 " See Trapp on " Amo 9:2 " See Trapp on " Amo 9:3 " See Trapp on " Heb 4:13 "

Where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves] Either from God's all seeing eye, or punishing hand. Adam is pulled out of the thicket; Manasseh from among the thorns; Zedekiah and his family from between the two walls; many Jews out of the privies and other lurking holes where they lay hidden, at the last destruction of Jerusalem.
