Commentary on Job 8:22

  • Matthew Henry (Presbyterian), Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary on Job 8:20-22: Bildad here, in the close of his discourse, sums up what he has to say in a few words, setting before Job life and death, the blessing and the curse, assuring him that as he was so he should fare, and therefore they might conclude that as he fared so he was. 1.
  • Jamieson-Fausset-Brown (Reformed), Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible on Job 8:22: The haters of Job are the wicked. They shall be clothed with shame (Jer 3:25; Psa 35:26; Psa 109:29), at the failure of their hope that Job would utterly perish, and because they, instead of him, come to naught. Next: Job Chapter 9
  • Keil & Delitzsch (Lutheran), Biblical Commentary on the Old Testament on Job 8:20-22: Job 8:20-22 20 Behold! God despiseth not the perfect man, And taketh not evil-doers by the hand. 21 While He shall fill thy mouth with laughing, And thy lips with rejoicing, 22 They who hate thee shall be clothed with shame, And the tent of the ungodly is no more. “To take by the hand,” i.e., ready to help as His own, as Isa 41:13; Isa 42:6.
