Job 34:8

“Which goeth in company with the workers of iniquity, etc.] The worst of men, who make it their constant business and employment to commit sin: and walketh with wicked men; the most abandoned of mankind. Not that Job kept company with such, and walked with them in all excess of not; nor did Elihu think so; Job was “a man that feared God, and eschewed evil”, and evil men; he was “a companion of them that feared the Lord”; his delight was “with the excellent of the earth”: nor should a good man keep company and walk with the wicked, nor can he with any pleasure. But the sense is, that by his words, the expressions that dropped from his lips, he seemed to agree with them, and to be of the same…”

“Job virtually goes in company (makes common cause) with the wicked, by taking up their sentiments (Job 9:22-23, Job 9:30; Job 21:7-15), or at least by saying, that those who act on such sentiments are unpunished (Mal 3:14). To deny God's righteous government because we do not see the reasons of His acts, is virtually to take part with the ungodly.”

“Which goeth in company with the workers of iniquity - That is, in his sentiments. The idea is, that he advocated the same opinions which they did, and entertained the same views of God and of his government. The same charge had been before brought against him by his friends; see the notes at Job 21:0. return to 'Top of Page'”

“Who goeth - Although I dare not say, that he is a wicked man, yet in this matter he speaks and acts like one of them. Job 34:9”
