This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Job_34:22 [There is] no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.
Ver. 22. There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, &c.] Sinners would fain shroud and secrete themselves from God’s all seeing eye; for which end they search all corners, with Adam, and hope that their evil pranks and practices shall never come to light; but that cannot be, for not only darkness and the shadow of death, but hell also, is naked before him, and destruction hath no covering, Job_26:6; {See Trapp on "Job_26:6"} See also Psa_139:12 Amo_9:2-3 Heb_4:13. {See Trapp on "Psa_139:12"} {See Trapp on "Amo_9:2"} {See Trapp on "Amo_9:3"} {See Trapp on "Heb_4:13"}
Where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves] Either from God’s all seeing eye, or punishing hand. Adam is pulled out of the thicket; Manasseh from among the thorns; Zedekiah and his family from between the two walls; many Jews out of the privies and other lurking holes where they lay hidden, at the last destruction of Jerusalem.
