Matthew Poole and continuators on Job 8:22

22. They that hate thee shall be cloathed with shame , and the dwelling-place of the wicked shall come to nought.

That rejoyce in thy Calamities.

i. e. Shall be wholly covered with it, shall be utterly confounded, when they shall observe thee whom they have despised and insulted over, to be so wonderfully and surprizingly restored to thy former or a greater Felicity.

Either particularly of thy Enemies who dealt so unworthily and wickedly with thee: Or more generally of all wicked men. Having shewed what good God would do to the perfect man, he now declares the contrary Portion of the Wicked, and as he said, that God would not help them, v. 20. so here he adds, that God will bring not onely them but their house; i. e. their Family and Estate to nought.
