Hiob 34:8 Meaning and Commentary

Job 34:8

Which goeth in company with the workers of iniquity
The worst of men, who make it their constant business and employment to commit sin:

and walketh with wicked men;
the most abandoned of mankind. Not that Job kept company with such, and walked with them in all excess of not; nor did Elihu think so; Job was "a man that feared God, and eschewed evil", and evil men; he was "a companion of them that feared the Lord"; his delight was "with the excellent of the earth": nor should a good man keep company and walk with the wicked, nor can he with any pleasure. But the sense is, that by his words, the expressions that dropped from his lips, he seemed to agree with them, and to be of the same sentiments with them; and what he delivered tended to encourage and harden them in their sinful ways; and what those words were follow.

Hiob 34:8 In-Context

6 Trotz meines Rechtes soll ich lügen; meine Wunde ist unheilbar, ohne daß ich übertreten habe. -

7 Wer ist ein Mann wie Hiob, der Hohn trinkt wie Wasser,

8 und in Gesellschaft geht mit denen, die Frevel tun, und wandelt mit gottlosen Menschen?

9 Denn er hat gesagt: Keinen Nutzen hat ein Mann davon, daß er Wohlgefallen an Gott hat!

10 Darum höret mir zu, ihr Männer von Verstand! Fern sei Gott von Gesetzlosigkeit, und der Allmächtige von Unrecht!
