Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Job 22:18

_ _ “Yet” you say (see on Job 21:16) that it is “He who filled their houses with good” — “their good is not in their hand,” but comes from God.

_ _ but the counsel ... is — rather, “may the counsel be,” etc. Eliphaz sarcastically quotes in continuation Job’s words (Job 21:16). Yet, after uttering this godless sentiment, thou dost hypocritically add, “May the counsel,” etc.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Job 22:15-20.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Job 22:18

Yet — Yet it is true, that for a time God did prosper them, but at last, cut them off in a tremendous manner, But — He repeals Job's words, Job 21:16, not without reflection: thou didst say so, but 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.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Job 22:18

Yet he (m) filled their houses with good [things]: but the counsel of the wicked is far from me.

(m) He answers to that which Job had said, (Job 21:7) that the wicked have prosperity in this world; desiring that he might not be a partaker of the like.
