Job21:28
28. 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 (Is 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.
