(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)
This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
ye say - referring to Zophar (Job 20:7).
the house - referring to the fall of the house of Job’s oldest son (Job 1:19) and the destruction of his family.
prince - The parallel “wicked” in the second clause requires this to be taken in a bad sense, tyrant, oppressor (Isa 13:2), the same Hebrew, “nobles” - oppressors.
dwelling-places - rather, “pavilions,” a tent containing many dwellings, such as a great emir, like Job, with many dependents, would have.
