19 The righteous see it, and are glad: and the innocent laugh them to scorn.
19 The righteous see their ruin and rejoice; the innocent mock them, saying,
19 The righteous see it and are glad; the innocent one mocks at them,
19 "Good people see bad people crash, and call for a celebration. Relieved, they crow,
19 "The righteous see it and are glad, And the innocent laugh at them:
19 "The righteous will be happy to see the wicked destroyed, and the innocent will laugh in contempt.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Job 22:19
Commentary on Job 22:15-20
(Read Job 22:15-20)
Eliphaz would have Job mark the old way that wicked men have trodden, and see what the end of their way was. It is good for us to mark it, that we may not walk therein. But if others are consumed, and we are not, instead of blaming them, and lifting up ourselves, as Eliphaz does here, we ought to be thankful to God, and take it for a warning.
