Job 22:18 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Yet it is true that for a time God did prosper them, as he did thee; which also was the aggravation of their sin, and that which hastened their ruin: but at last, and in due time, God cut them off in a tremendous and exemplary manner; as he will also do thee, if thou dost not repent. But the counsel of the wicked is far from me; he repeats Job's words, Job 21:16, not without reflection and some kind of derision. Thou didst say so, but without sufficient reason, and against thy own principle, that God carries himself indifferently towards good and bad; but I, who have observed God's terrible judgments upon wicked men, have much more reason to abhor their counsels which had so sad an issue.
