Commentary on Job 22:19
Theological / DevotionalGlad. The righteous are described as rejoicing at the destruction of the wicked. If this be an appropriate reaction, why should not Job’s friends rejoice when God chose to punish one so wicked as they supposed Job to be?
There is a legitimate sense in which good men may rejoice in the punishment of the wicked. They do not rejoice that the sin was committed. Neither do they rejoice in the misery incident to punishment. They rejoice in the fact that evil is being eradicated, that ultimately the good will triumph.
