Summary Of Commentaries Associated With The Selected Verse
| A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882] |
| Job virtually goes in company (makes common cause) with the wicked, by taking up their sentiments (Job 9:22-23, Job 9:30; Job 21:7-15), or at least by saying, that those who act on such sentiments are unpunished (Mal 3:14). To deny God's righteous government because we do not see the reasons of His acts, is virtually to take part with the ungodly. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
| Which goeth in company with the workers of iniquity - That is, in his sentiments. The idea is, that he advocated the same opinions which they did, and entertained the same views of God and of his government. The same charge had been before brought against him by his friends; see the notes at Job 21. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| Who goeth - Although I dare not say, that he is a wicked man, yet in this matter he speaks and acts like one of them. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
| Which goeth in company with the workers of iniquity - This is an allusion to a caravan: all kinds of persons are found there; but yet a holy and respectable man might be found in that part of the company where profligates assembled. But surely this assertion of Elihu was not strictly true; and the words literally translated, will bear a less evil meaning: "Job makes a track ארח arach, to join fellowship, לחברה lechebrah, with the workers of iniquity;" i.e., Job's present mode of reasoning, when he says, "I am righteous, yet God hath taken away my judgment," is according to the assertion of sinners, who say, "There is no profit in serving God; for, if a man be righteous, he is not benefited by it, for God does not vindicate a just man's cause against his oppressors." By adopting so much of their creed, he intimates that Job is taking the steps that lead to fellowship with them. See Job 34:9. |
14 Ye have said [0559], It is vain [07723] to serve [05647] God [0430]: and what profit [01215] is it that we have kept [08104] his ordinance [04931], and that we have walked [01980] mournfully [06941] before [06440] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]?

22 This is one [0259] thing, therefore I said [0559] it, He destroyeth [03615] the perfect [08535] and the wicked [07563].
23 If the scourge [07752] slay [04191] suddenly [06597], he will laugh [03932] at the trial [04531] of the innocent [05355].
