Job 22:18

Job 22:18

Compare all

16 Who ^awere cut down before their time,
Whose foundations were swept away by a flood?

17 ^aThey said to God, ‘Depart from us!
What can the Almighty do to¹ them?’

18 Yet He filled their houses with good things;
But the counsel of the wicked is far from me.

19 “The^a righteous see it and are glad,
And the innocent laugh at them:

20 ‘Surely our¹ adversaries are cut down,
And the fire consumes their remnant.’

John Wesley's Notes

<< Job 22:17

Job 22:19 >>

Yet - Yet it is true, that for a time God did prosper them, but at last, cut them off in a tremendous manner, But - He repeals Job's words, Job 21:16, not without reflection: thou didst say so, but against thy own principle, that God carries himself indifferently towards good and bad; but I who have observed God's terrible judgments upon wicked men, have much more reason to abhor their counsels.
