Job 22:19 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

The righteous see it Whom God often spares in common calamities, and gives them to see the destruction of the wicked; as Noah, Lot, &c. And are glad Not that they insult over, or rejoice in, the ruin of any men, but because they delight in the vindication of God's honour, and justice, and holiness, which is connected with the destruction of his enemies, and which is, and ought to be, dearer to them than all the interests of men. And the innocent laugh them to scorn Justly deride them, for their vain and strong confidences, which are now destroyed; for their profane contempt of God's wrath and judgments, which they now feel; and for their deep and crafty counsels, which are now frustrated and turned against themselves.
