Matthew Poole and continuators on Job 12:10

10. In whose hand is the soul of every living thing , and the breath of all mankind.

i. e. At whose absolute disposal it is to give it, or take it away when and how it seemeth good to him.

The Life, or the Soul the Principle of Life.

i. e. Of all unreasonable Creatures, of which he spoke v. 7. opposed to man in the last words.

Or, the spirit, as that word is commonly used; i. e. the Immortal Soul; which is no less a Creature, and in Gods power to dispose of it, than the Animal Soul of unreasonable Creatures.

Marginal references: Num. 16. 22.; Or, life.; Heb. all flesh of man.
