“And from the wicked their light is withholden, and the high arm shall be broken.”
Job 38:15 (KJV)
Commentary on Job 38:15
"And from the wicked their light is withholden, and the high arm shall be broken." Darkness is paradoxically called the wicked's "light" (orem, אוֹרָם)—the medium in which they operate. Dawn withholds this, exposing evil. The "high arm" (zero'a ramah, זְרוֹעַ רָמָה) represents violence and oppression being broken. This reveals God's justice—He systematically undermines evil's power. The verse assures sufferers that God actively opposes wickedness, even when His timing differs from ours. It anticipates Christ breaking Satan's power and every oppressive force.
