Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Job 17:8

_ _ astonied — at my unmerited sufferings.

_ _ against the hypocrite — The upright shall feel their sense of justice wounded (“will be indignant”) because of the prosperity of the wicked. By “hypocrite” or “ungodly,” he perhaps glances at his false friends.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Job 17:1-9.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Job 17:8

Astonied — At the depth and mysteriousness of God's judgments, which fall on innocent men, while the worst of men prosper. Yet — Notwithstanding all these sufferings of good men, and the astonishment which they cause, he shall the more zealously oppose those hypocrites, who make these strange providences of God an objection to religion.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Upright [men] shall be astonied at (i) this, and the innocent shall stir up himself against the hypocrite.
