Job 27:13 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

This is the portion of a wicked man; that which is mentioned in the following verses; in which Job delivers either,

1. The opinion of his friends, in whose person he utters them, and afterwards declares his dissent from them. Or rather,

2. His own opinion, and how far he agreeth with them; for his sense differs but little from what Zophar said, Job 20:29. With God; either laid up with God, or in his counsel and appointment; or which he shall have from God, as the next words explain it. Of oppressors; who are mighty, and fierce, and terrible, and mischievous to mankind, as this word implies, whom therefore men cannot destroy, but God will.

Job 27:13

13 This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressors, which they shall receive of the Almighty.
