He breaks open a shaft away from the inhabitants; even in places forgotten of the foot: they are gone away from men, they swing to and fro.
All Commentaries on Job 28:4 Go To Job 28
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
At. Nations are separated by waters from each other. (Calmet)
Some, like the Chinese, keep all strangers at a distance. (Haydock)
But the industry of man breaketh through all barriers. Hebrew, "a river separates a foreign nation forgotten by travellers; but these waters cannot stop man: they flow away. "(Calmet)
Protestants, "The flood breaketh out from the inhabitants, even the waters; forgotten of the foot, they are dried up; they are gone away from men. "Septuagint, "Sand cuts off a torrent: but those who forget the way of justice, have become infirm, and have been instable among mortals. "(Haydock)
Travellers are sometimes parted by a swelling torrent; (Sa) and waters, bursting forth suddenly, change the roads of men. (Worthington)
