Job 8:22 - Albert Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

They that hate thee shall be clothed with shame - When they see your returning prosperity, and the evidences of the divine favor. They will then be ashamed that they regarded you as a hypocrite, and that they reproached you in your trials.

And the dwelling-place of the wicked ... - The wicked shall be destroyed, and his family shall pass away. That is, God will favor the righteous, but punish the wicked. This opinion the friends of Job maintain all along, and by this they urge him to forsake his sins, repent, and return to God.

Job 8:22

22 They that hate thee shall be clothed with shame; and the dwelling place of the wicked shall come to nought.
