Giobbe 34:8

8 E che cammina in compagnia con gli operatori d’iniquità, E va con gli uomini empi?

Giobbe 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.

Giobbe 34:8 In-Context

6 Mentirei io intorno alla mia ragione? La saetta, con la quale son ferito, è dolorosissima, Senza che vi sia misfatto in me.
7 Quale è l’uomo simile a Giobbe, Che beve lo scherno come acqua?
8 E che cammina in compagnia con gli operatori d’iniquità, E va con gli uomini empi?
9 Perciocchè egli ha detto: L’uomo non fa niun profitto Di rendersi grato a Dio.
10 Perciò, uomini di senno, ascoltatemi; Tolga Iddio che vi sia empietà in Dio, O perversità nell’Onnipotente.
