This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Job_24:22 He draweth also the mighty with his power: he riseth up, and no [man] is sure of life.
Ver. 22. He draweth also the mighty with his power] i.e. He hath brought them by force under his girdle, and compelled them to do him homage and service.
He riseth up] In the fuluess of his might, as "a king, against whom there is no rising up," Pro_30:31.
And no man is sure of life] Which the tyrant taketh away at his pleasure. Or thus, the tyrant himself, after he hath made all cock sure, as he may think, is not yet sure of his own life, dare not confide in his best friends. Dionysius, for instance, and our Richard III. The Hebrew is, And he is not sure of life.
