Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 25. - Wilt thou break a leaf driven to and fro? and wilt thou pursue the dry stubble? Job compares himself to two of the weakest things in nature - a withered leaf, and a morsel of dry stubble. He cannot believe that God will employ his almighty strength in crushing and destroying what is so slight and feeble. A deep sense of God's goodness and compassion underlies the thought.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(25) Wilt thou break a leaf.--His confession of sin here approaches even to what the Psalmist describes as the condition of the ungodly (Psalm 1:4).
