This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Job_26:11 The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof.
Ver. 11. The pillars of heaven tremble] i.e. The angels, say some, who tremble out of conscience of their own comparative imperfections. The best of saints on earth, say others (according to Gal_2:9 Rev_3:12 Pro_9:1-2), who tremble at God’s word, Isa_66:2, and have many concussions by afflictions. But better understand the firmament of heaven, Hag_2:6-7 Mat_24:29. The powers of heaven shall be shaken, they shall quake with the loud check of his thunderclaps. Or the high and mighty mountains, whereon the heavens seem to rest, as on so many pillars, shaken by earth, quakes, and sometimes with great astonishment removed out of their places.
And are astonished at his reproof] As all the beasts of the field are at the roaring of the lion; Ut quis a gravi et magnae potestatis vire, obiurgatus, tremit et vehementer solicitus est, as a slave chided by a prince trembleth, and is aghast.
