Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Job 22:9

_ _ empty — without their wants being relieved (Genesis 31:42). The Mosaic law especially protected the widow and fatherless (Exodus 22:22); the violation of it in their case by the great is a complaint of the prophets (Isaiah 1:17).

_ _ arms — supports, helps, on which one leans (Hosea 7:15). Thou hast robbed them of their only stay. Job replies in Job 29:11-16.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Job 22:5-14.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Job 22:9

Arms — Their supports, and rights.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Job 22:9

Thou hast sent widows away empty, and the arms of the (e) fatherless have been broken.

(e) You have not only not shown pity, but oppressed them.
