job 22:8 But as for the mighty man, he had the earth; and the honourable man dwelt in it.

job 22:8 "But the earth belongs to the mighty man, And the honorable man dwells in it.

8. mighty--Hebrew, "man of arm" (Ps 10:15; namely, Job).
honourable--Hebrew, "eminent, or, accepted for countenance" (Isa 3:3; 2Ki 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, 9) [MICHAELIS].

job 22:8 "But the earth belongs to the mighty man, And the honorable man dwells in it.
