9 And you sent widows away empty-handed and broke the strength of the fatherless.
9 Thou hast sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken.
9 You have sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless were crushed.
9 You turned poor widows away from your door; heartless, you crushed orphans.
9 You have sent widows away empty, And the strength of the fatherless was crushed.
9 You must have sent widows away empty-handed and crushed the hopes of orphans.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Job 22:9
Commentary on Job 22:5-14
(Read Job 22:5-14)
Eliphaz brought heavy charges against Job, without reason for his accusations, except that Job was visited as he supposed God always visited every wicked man. He charges him with oppression, and that he did harm with his wealth and power in the time of his prosperity.
