Let my enemy be as the wicked, and he that rises up against me as the unrighteous.
All Commentaries on Job 27:7 Go To Job 27
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
Enemy, or opponent. Hebrew, "my enemy shall be "(Haydock)
In effect, those who maintained the contrary to what Job taught, favoured the cause of impiety, as they represented God never punishing his servants, (Calmet) which is contrary to experience; (Haydock) though it was not so evident at that time. (Houbigant)
Job is so far from thinking riches a proof of sanctity, that he rather would wish his enemy to have them, (Menochius) as they are too frequently an incentive to sin. (Haydock)
