Job 25:2
“Dominion and awe belong to God; He establishes harmony in the heights of heaven.
BSB
ASV
Dominion and fear are with him; He maketh peace in his high places.
KJV
Dominion and fear are with him, he maketh peace in his high places.
Dominion and fear are with Him; Who maketh peace in His high places. [LITERAL INTERPRETATION] As though he expressed himself in plain words; 'He only truly terrifies the hearts of mortals, who by the power of His Divine nature truly possesses these.' For what terror does the power of man infuse, which knows not when it may lack the light of that power? Now it is rightly said, He maketh peace in His high places.
What great things are here said of God, designed to possess Job with a reverence of him, and to check his reflections upon him and upon his dealings with him: (1.) God is the sovereign Lord of all, and with him is terrible majesty.
Dominion and fear are with him - God is an absolute sovereign; his fear is on all the hosts of heaven; and by his sovereignty he establishes and preserves order in the heavens, and among all the inhabitants of the eternal world: how canst thou, therefore, dare to appeal to him, or desire to appear before him?
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
