Matthew Poole and continuators on Job 34:25

25. Therefore he knoweth their works , and he overturneth them in the night , so that they are destroyed .

i. e. Hence it appears that he knows all their evil works because he judgeth them, for them. God or men are oft times said in Scripture to know or do a thing when they onely manifest their knowing and doing of it. Or, Because, &c. as this Particle is used. Isa. 26. 14. & 6[illegible: 1+ letters] ▪ 7. So this is subjoined as the ground or reason why he punisheth them, as is related both in the foregoing and in the following words, because he sees all their wicked designs and actions.

i. e. When they are at rest and secure, at midnight, as it is v. 20. Or, he turneth or bringeth upon them the night, to wit, of calamity and tribulation, as the next words explain it, and as the words night and darkness are oft used. Or, he turneth the night, to wit, into day, i. e. He knoweth all their deeds of darkness, and bringeth them to light. See above v. 22.

Heb. and (or then, or therefore; for both these ways this Particle is sometimes used) they shall be destroyed, or, broken to pieces.
