Commentary on Job 22:20

Theological / Devotional

Our substance. Heb. qimartu, literally, “our uprising.” Some translate this word, “our adversaries.” They consider the verse a statement by “the innocent” of the previous verse and have them declare, “Surely they that rose up against us are cut off.” The rendering “substance” follows the LXX.

Fire. Another symbol of the destruction of the wicked.
