22. This [is] one [thing], therefore I said [it], He destroyeth the perfect and the wicked. 23. If the scourge slay suddenly, he will laugh at the trial of the innocent. 24. The earth is given into the hand of the wicked: he covereth the faces of the judges thereof; if not, where, [and] who [is] he?

Commentary

Commentary on Job 9:22

Theological / Devotional

One thing. Or, “one matter.” That is, all are alike in God’s sight. There is no difference between the cases of the righteous and those of the wicked. I said it. Or, “I say.” Job is about to make a bold assertion. He destroyeth. Job is convinced that nothing can be argued certainly about the character of a man from the divine dealings with him. God allows the righteous and the wicked to be swept away together.
