Job 5:23 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

League — Thou shalt be free from annoyance thereby, as if they had made an inviolable league with thee. This is a bold metaphor, but such as are frequent both in scripture and other authors. 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.
