- J Vernon McGee:
- “The spirit of man is the candle [or lamp] of the LORD [Jehovah].” Notice it is called the candle or lamp of Jehovah, not the light of Jehovah. The spirit of man is only the lamp, the vessel that holds the light. Man is just a lamp, and until we are filled by the Holy Spirit, we don’t become a light. Remember the parable of the ten virgins. Five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They were just lamps. Without the oil, they could not have light.”
- Verse 30 is a parallel to Jesus.
- Isaiah 53:5
