job 22:18 Yet he filled their houses with good things: but the counsel of the wicked is far from me. - Free Bible Online

job 22:18 "Yet He filled their houses with good [things]; But the counsel of the wicked is far from me.


      18. "Yet" you say (see on Job 21:16) that it is "He who filled their houses with good"--"their good is not in their hand," but comes from God.
      but the counsel . . . is--rather, "may the counsel be," &c. Eliphaz sarcastically quotes in continuation Job's words (Job 21:16). Yet, after uttering this godless sentiment, thou dost hypocritically add, "May the counsel," &c.
