Job 22:8
_ _ mighty — Hebrew, “man of arm” (Psalms 10:15; namely, Job).
_ _ honourable — Hebrew, “eminent, or, accepted for countenance” (Isaiah 3:3; 2 Kings 5:1); that is, possessing authority. Eliphaz repeats his charge (Job 15:28; so Zophar, Job 20:19), that it was by violence Job wrung houses and lands from the poor, to whom now he refused relief (Job 22:7, Job 22:9) [Michaelis]. |

Dwelt — Either by thy sentence or permission, he had a peaceable and sure possession of it, whether he had right to it, or no. |
Job 22:8
But [as for] the mighty man, he (d) had the earth; and the honourable man dwelt in it.
(d) When you were in power and authority you did not do justice but wrong. |
- But as:
Job 29:7-17 When I went out to the gate through the city, [when] I prepared my seat in the street! ... And I brake the jaws of the wicked, and plucked the spoil out of his teeth.
Job 31:34 Did I fear a great multitude, or did the contempt of families terrify me, that I kept silence, [and] went not out of the door?
1 Kings 21:11-15 And the men of his city, [even] the elders and the nobles who were the inhabitants in his city, did as Jezebel had sent unto them, [and] as it [was] written in the letters which she had sent unto them. ... And it came to pass, when Jezebel heard that Naboth was stoned, and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give thee for money: for Naboth is not alive, but dead.
Psalms 12:8 The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.
Micah 7:3 That they may do evil with both hands earnestly, the prince asketh, and the judge [asketh] for a reward; and the great [man], he uttereth his mischievous desire: so they wrap it up.
