3 Is there H3426 any number H4557 of his armies? H1416 and upon whom doth not his light H216 arise? H6965
And God H430 said, H559 Let there be H1961 light: H216 and there was light. H216 And God H430 saw H7200 H853 the light, H216 that H3588 it was good: H2896 and God H430 divided H914 H996 the light H216 from H996 the darkness. H2822 And God H430 called H7121 the light H216 Day, H3117 and the darkness H2822 he called H7121 Night. H3915 And the evening H6153 and the morning H1242 were the first H259 day. H3117
And God H430 said, H559 Let there be lights H3974 in the firmament H7549 of the heaven H8064 to divide H914 the day H3117 from the night; H3915 and let them be for signs, H226 and for seasons, H4150 and for days, H3117 and years: H8141 And let them be for lights H3974 in the firmament H7549 of the heaven H8064 to give light H215 upon the earth: H776 and it was so. And God H430 made H6213 two H8147 great H1419 lights; H3974 the greater H1419 light H3974 to rule H4475 the day, H3117 and the lesser H6996 light H3974 to rule H4475 the night: H3915 he made the stars H3556 also.
Their line H6957 is gone out H3318 through all the earth, H776 and their words H4405 to the end H7097 of the world. H8398 In them hath he set H7760 a tabernacle H168 for the sun, H8121 Which is as a bridegroom H2860 coming out H3318 of his chamber, H2646 and rejoiceth H7797 as a strong man H1368 to run H7323 a race. H734 His going forth H4161 is from the end H7097 of the heaven, H8064 and his circuit H8622 unto the ends H7098 of it: and there is nothing hid H5641 from the heat H2535 thereof.
Bless H1288 the LORD, H3068 ye his angels, H4397 that excel H1368 in strength, H3581 that do H6213 his commandments, H1697 hearkening H8085 unto the voice H6963 of his word. H1697 Bless H1288 ye the LORD, H3068 all ye his hosts; H6635 ye ministers H8334 of his, that do H6213 his pleasure. H7522
Praise H1984 ye him, all his angels: H4397 praise H1984 ye him, all his hosts. H6635 Praise H1984 ye him, sun H8121 and moon: H3394 praise H1984 him, all ye stars H3556 of light. H216 Praise H1984 him, ye heavens H8064 of heavens, H8064 and ye waters H4325 that be above the heavens. H8064

CHAPTER 25
THIRD SERIES.
Job 25:1-6. Bildad's Reply.
He tries to show Job's rashness (Job 23:3), by arguments borrowed from Eliphaz (Job 15:15, with which compare Job 11:17.
2. Power and terror, that is, terror-inspiring power.
peace in his high places—implying that His power is such on high as to quell all opposition, not merely there, but on earth also. The Holy Ghost here shadowed forth Gospel truths (Col 1:20; Eph 1:10).
3. armies—angels and stars (Isa 40:26; Jer 33:22; Ge 15:5; "countless," Da 7:10).
his light—(Jas 1:17).
4. (Job 4:17, 18; 14:4; 15:14).
5. "Look up even unto the moon" (Job 15:15). "Stars" here answer to "saints" (angels) there; "the moon" here to "the heavens" there. Even the "stars," the most dazzling object to man's eye, and the angels, of which the stars are emblems (Job 4:18; Re 9:1), are imperfect in His sight. Theirs is the light and purity but of creatures; His of the Creator.
6. (Job 4:19-21; 15:16).
worm … worm—Two distinct Hebrew words. The first, a worm bred in putridity; alluding to man's corruption. The second a crawling worm; implying that man is weak and grovelling.
