Job 22:20 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

(20) Whereas our substance... — These are probably the words of the righteous and the innocent: “Surely they that did rise up against us are cut off, and the remnant of them the fire hath consumed.” The rendering in the Authorised Version is probably less correct, though in that also these words seem to be those of the innocent in Job 22:19.
