Job 22:8

“But [as for] the mighty man, he had the earth, etc.] A large share and portion of it, which Job could not hinder him from the enjoyment of, because mightier than he, or otherwise he would have done it; or Job was content he should have what he had, and gave him more than what of right belonged to him; for when any cause came before him as a judge, or civil magistrate, between a rich man, and a poorer man, relating to a field, or piece of land he always gave the cause to the rich and mighty and so he had the land, as is suggested: and the honourable man dwelt in it; peaceably, quietly, and undisturbed, though he had no just title to it; or “the man accepted of face” or “countenance” f844, who…”

“mighty--Hebrew, "man of arm" (Psa 10:15; namely, Job). honourable--Hebrew, "eminent, or, accepted for countenance" (Isa 3:3; Kg2 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, Job 22:9) [MICHAELIS].”

“But as for the mighty man - Hebrew as in the margin, “man of arm.” The “arm,” in the Scriptures, is the symbol of power; Psalms 10:15, “Break thou the arm of the wicked;” Ezekiel 30:21. “I have broken the arm of Pharaoh;” Psalms 89:13, “Thou hast a mighty arm;” Psalms 97:1, “His holy arm hath gotten him the victory.” The reason of this is, that the sword and spear were principally used in war, and success depended on the force with which they were wielded by the arm. There can be no doubt that this is intended to be applied to Job, and that the meaning is, that he had driven the poor from their possessions, and he had taken forcible occupancy of what belonged to them. The idea is, that he…”

“Dwelt - Either by thy sentence or permission, he had a peaceable and sure possession of it, whether he had right to it, or no. Job 22:9”

“But as: Job 29:7-17, Job 31:34; Kg1 21:11-15; Psa 12:8; Mic 7:3 mighty man: Heb. man of arm honourable: Heb. eminent, or, accepted for countenance. Job 13:8 Job 22:9”
