Job 9:7 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth not; and sealeth up the stars. Which commandeth the sun - Obscures it either with clouds, with thick darkness, or with an eclipse.

Sealeth up the stars - Like the contents of a letter, wrapped up and sealed, so that it cannot be read. Sometimes the heavens become as black as ebony, and no star, figure, or character, in this great book of God can be read.

Job 9:7

7 Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth not; and sealeth up the stars.
