job 21:28 For ye say, Where is the house of the prince? and where are the dwelling places of the wicked?

job 21:28 "For you say, 'Where is the house of the nobleman, And where is the tent, the dwelling places of the wicked?'

28. ye say--referring to Zophar (Job 20:7).
the house--referring to the fall of the house of Job's oldest son (Job 1:19) and the destruction of his family.
prince--The parallel "wicked" in the second clause requires this to be taken in a bad sense, tyrant, oppressor (Isa 13:2), the same Hebrew, "nobles"--oppressors.
dwelling-places--rather, "pavilions," a tent containing many dwellings, such as a great emir, like Job, with many dependents, would have.

job 21:28 "For you say, 'Where is the house of the nobleman, And where is the tent, the dwelling places of the wicked?'
