7 "May my enemy be like the wicked, my adversary like the unjust!
7 Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and he that riseth up against me as the unrighteous.
7 "Let my enemy be as the wicked, and let him who rises up against me be as the unrighteous.
7 "Let my enemy be exposed as wicked! Let my adversary be proven guilty!
7 "May my enemy be like the wicked, And he who rises up against me like the unrighteous.
7 "May my enemy be punished like the wicked, my adversary like those who do evil.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Job 27:7
Commentary on Job 27:7-10
(Read Job 27:7-10)
Job looked upon the condition of a hypocrite and a wicked man, to be most miserable. If they gained through life by their profession, and kept up their presumptuous hope till death, what would that avail when God required their souls? The more comfort we find in our religion, the more closely we shall cleave to it. Those who have no delight in God, are easily drawn away by the pleasures, and easily overcome by the crosses of this life.
