Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Job 5:13

_ _ Paul (1 Corinthians 3:19) quoted this clause with the formula establishing its inspiration, “it is written.” He cites the exact Hebrew words, not as he usually does the Septuagint, Greek version (Psalms 9:15). Haman was hanged on the gallows he prepared for Mordecai (Esther 5:14; Esther 7:10).

_ _ the wise — that is, “the cunning.”

_ _ is carried headlong — Their scheme is precipitated before it is ripe.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Job 5:6-16.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Job 5:13

The wise — Men wise to do evil, and wise in the opinion of the world, he not only deceives in their hopes and counsels, but turns them against themselves. Froward — Or, wrestlers: such as wind and turn every way, as wrestlers do, and will leave no means untried to accomplish their counsels. Is carried — Is tumbled down and broken, and that by their own precipitation.
