Job 4:15

Job 4:15 Then a spirit passed before my face; the hair of my flesh stood up:

Ver. 15. Then a spirit passed before my face ] Some render it a wind, as a messenger or forerunner of God near at hand, as 1 Kings 19:11 . But better, a good angel in some bodily shape, Psa 104:4 Luke 24:37 ; for else how could he be seen of Eliphaz, gliding rather than going, as a ship upon the face of the waters?

The hair of my flesh stood up ] Horripilatus sum. In a fright the heart falleth down, the hair standeth up; the blood hastening to the heart to relieve it, as soldiers do to the castle when all is likely to be lost.
