Commentary on Job 24:22

Theological / Devotional

Mighty. Many take the pronoun “he” to refer to the oppressor. The text is thought to reveal that the wicked not only oppress the weak but also make life unpleasant for the mighty. Others consider “he” as referring to God: “God prolongeth the life of the mighty.” If this is the correct interpretation, it is another complaint on the part of Job regarding God’s failure to punish the wicked.
