Job 24:22 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

He draweth, either into his net, as Psalms 10:9, or to his party, to assist and serve him in his enterprises. The mighty; who are mighty in place, or wealth, or power; he practiseth upon these as well as upon the poor. With his power; which being greater than theirs, he soon forceth them to comply with his desires and demands. He riseth up, to wit, against any man, as this phrase is used, Psalms 18:38, Psalms 44:5; when he sets himself against a man, and resolves to destroy him. No man is sure of life, i.e. none of them whom he so opposeth can be secure or confident of holding his life, but all such give up themselves for lost men, as knowing they cannot resist his greater might: compare Deuteronomy 28:26.

Job 24:22

22 He draweth also the mighty with his power: he riseth up, and no man is suree of life.
