Job 27:7

Verse 7. Enemy, or opponent. Hebrew “my enemy shall be,” and so forth Bible.—In effect, those who maintained the contrary to what Job taught, favoured the cause of impiety, as they represented God never punishing his servants, and so forth ( Calmet.) which is contrary to experience; ( Bible.) though it was not so evident at that time. Houbigant.—Job is so far from thinking riches a proof of sanctity, that he rather would wish his enemy to have them, ( Menochius.) as they are too frequently an incentive to sin. Bible.
