Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Job 39:5

_ _ wild ass — Two different Hebrew words are here used for the same animal, “the ass of the woods” and “the wild ass.” (See on Job 6:5; see on Job 11:12; see on Job 24:5; and see on Jeremiah 2:24).

_ _ loosed the bands — given its liberty to. Man can rob animals of freedom, but not, as God, give freedom, combined with subordination to fixed laws.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Job 39:1-12.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Job 39:5

Sent — Who hath given him this disposition that he loves freedom, and hates that subjection which other creatures quietly endure? Loosed — Who keeps him from receiving the bands, and submitting to the service of man.
