Commentary on Job 22:8

Theological / Devotional

Mighty man. Literally, “man of arm.” The “arm” in the Scripture is a symbol of power (Ps. 10:15; 89:13; 98:1; Eze. 30:21). Some take this verse as an intentional reference to Job. If such was the intent, Eliphaz meant that Job had dispossessed the poor and had taken forcible occupancy of the earth. Others believe that the “mighty” and “honourable” men may refer to Job’s friends and retainers.
