Matthew Poole and continuators on Job 22:18

18. Yet he filled their houses with good things : but the counsel of the wicked is far from me .

Yet it is true, that for a time God did prosper them, as he did thee; which also was the aggravation of their sin, and that which hastned their ruine: but at last, and in due time, God cut them off in a tremendous and exemplary manner▪ as he will also do thee, if thou dost not repent.

He repeats Iob's words, Ch. 21. 16. not without reflection and some kind of derision: Thou didst say so, but without sufficient reason and against thy own principle, that God carries himself indifferently towards good and bad; but I who have observed God's terrible judgments upon wicked men, have much more reason to abhor their counsels which had so sad an issue.
