Job 36:17 - John Trapp Complete Commentary

Bible Comments

But thou hast fulfilled the judgment of the wicked: judgment and justice take hold [on thee].

Ver. 17. But thou hast fulfilled the judgment of the wicked] But thou contrariwise blusterest against God, and blurtest out such words, that thou seemest to be as bad as the worst, and to have little or no goodness in thee. See Job 34:8. It is a shame to God's holy people to symbolize with the wicked, to be carnal in their speeches or carriages, and to walk as men, 2 Corinthians 3:3. They should so speak and so do as those that shall be judged by the law of liberty, James 2:12 .

Judgment and justice take hold of thee] Thou art worthily attached by the Divine justice, which thou hast quarrelled.

Job 36:17

17 But thou hast fulfilled the judgment of the wicked: judgment and justice take hold on thee.
