Clarke's Bible Commentary - Job 34:25
Verse 25. He knoweth their works ] He knows what they have done, and what they are plotting to do. He overturneth them in the night ] In the revolution of a single night the plenitude of power on which the day closed is annihilated. See the cases of Belshazzar and Babylon.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 16-30 - Elihu appeals directly to Job himself. Could he suppose that God wa like those earthly princes, who hate right, who are unfit to rule, an prove the scourges of mankind? It is daring presumption to condem God's proceedings, as Job had done by his discontents. Elihu suggest divers considerations to Job, to produce in him high thoughts of God and so to persuade him to submit. Job had often wished to plead his cause before God. Elihu asks, To what purpose? All is well that God does, and will be found so. What can make those uneasy, whose soul dwell at ease in God? The smiles of all the world cannot quiet those of whom God frowns.
