For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field: and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee.
In league with the stones of the field - they shall not hurt the fertility of thy soil (2 Kings 3:19; 2 Kings 3:25; Isaiah 5:2), nor the wild beasts thy fruits. Spoken in Arabia Deserta, where stones abounded. Arabia, derived from Arabah-a desert plain. The first clause of this verse answers to the first clause of Job 5:22; and the last of this verse to the last of that verse. The full realization of this is yet future. "They shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth for trouble" (Isaiah 65:23; Isaiah 65:25; Isaiah 11:6-8); I will make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field-I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the earth" (Hosea 2:18).
