Job 8:22 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

They that hate thee That rejoice in thy calamities; shall be clothed with shame That is, shall be wholly covered with it, shall be utterly confounded, when they shall observe thee, whom they have despised and insulted over, to be wonderfully restored to thy former or greater felicity. And the dwelling-place of the wicked Either, particularly, of thy enemies, who acted so unworthily and wickedly toward thee; or, more generally, of all wicked men; shall come to naught Having showed what good God would do to the perfect, or good man, he now declares what would be the portion of the wicked. And, as he said, Job 8:20, that God would not help them; so here he adds, that God would bring not only them, but their house, that is, their family and estate, to utter ruin.
