Job 24:22

“He draweth also the mighty with his power, etc.] Such a wicked man not only maltreats the weak, the helpless, and the defenceless, but even attacks the mighty and powerful; such as are in great power and authority, and abound in wealth and riches, only somewhat inferior in both to himself: wherefore, by his superior force, he draws them to be of his party, to join with him in acts of rapine and violence, oppression and cruelty; or he draws them by power or policy, or by both, as the wicked man does the poor with his net, (<191009>Psalm 10:9); and so makes a prey of him and his substance. Some understand this of the punishment of wicked men, and interpret it, as Jarchi does, of God’s drawing…”

“Reply of Job to the opinion of the friends. Experience proves the contrary. Translate: "But He (God) prolongeth the life of (literally, draweth out at length; Psa 36:10, Margin) the mighty with His (God's) power. He (the wicked) riseth up (from his sick bed) although he had given up hope of (literally, when he no longer believed in) life" (Deu 28:66).”

“He draweth also the mighty with his power - The word here rendered draweth (משׁך mâshak), means to draw; and then, to lay hold of, to take, to take away, and, hence, to remove, to destroy; Psalms 28:3; Ezekiel 22:20. The idea here seems to be, that his acts of oppression and cruelty were not confined to the poor and the defenseless. Even the great and the mighty were also exposed, and he spared none. No one was safe, and no rights could be regarded as secure. The character here described is one that pertains to a tyrant, or a conqueror, and Job probably meant to describe some such mighty man, who was regardless alike of the rights of the high and the low. He riseth up - When he rises up;…”

“Draweth - Into his net. Job 24:23”

“draweth: Est 3:8-10; Dan 6:4-9; Joh 19:12-16; Rev 16:13, Rev 16:14, Rev 17:2 no man is sure of life: or, he trusteth not his own life Job 24:23”

“22 And He preserveth the mighty by His strength; Such an one riseth again, though he despaired of life. 23 He giveth him rest, and he is sustained, And His eyes are over their ways. 24 They are exalted - a little while, - then they are no more, And they are sunken away, snatched away like all others, And as the top of the stalk they are cut off. - 25 And if it is not so, who will charge me with lying, And make my assertion worthless? Though it becomes manifest after their death how little the ungodly, who were only feared by men, were beloved, the form of their death itself is by no means such as to reveal the retributive justice of God. And does it become at all manifest during their life?…”
