Job 25:2
25:2 {a} Dominion and fear [are] with him, he maketh peace in
     his high places.

     (a) His purpose is to prove that although God may try and
         afflict the just, yet soon after he sends prosperity,
         and because he did not do so to Job he concludes that
         he is wicked.

Job 25:3
25:3 Is there any number of his armies? {b} and upon whom doth
     not his light arise?

     (b) Who can hide him from his presence?

Job 25:4
25:4 How then can man {c} be justified with God? or how can he
     be clean [that is] born of a woman?

     (c) That is, be just in respect to God?

Job 25:5
25:5 Behold even to the moon, and it shineth not; yea, {d} the
     stars are not pure in his sight.

     (d) If God shows his power, the moon and stars cannot have
         the light which is given to them, much less can man
         have any excellency but from God.
