Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Job 36:17

_ _ Rather, “But if thou art fulfilled (that is, entirely filled) with the judgment of the wicked (that is, the guilt incurring judgment” [Maurer]; or rather, as Umbreit, referring to Job 34:5-7, Job 34:36, the judgment pronounced on God by the guilty in misfortunes), judgment (God’s judgment on the wicked, Jeremiah 51:9, playing on the double meaning of “judgment”) and justice shall closely follow each other [Umbreit].

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Job 36:15-23.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Job 36:17

The judgment — Or, the sentence, thou hast justified the hard speeches which wicked men utter against God. Therefore — Therefore the just judgment of God takes hold on thee. Thou hast maintained their cause against God, and God passes against thee the sentence of condemnation due to wicked men.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Job 36:17

But thou hast fulfilled the (m) judgment of the wicked: judgment and justice take hold [on thee].

(m) You are altogether after the manner of the wicked: for you murmur against the justice of God.
