8 He keeps company with evildoers; he associates with the wicked.
8 Which goeth in company with the workers of iniquity, and walketh with wicked men.
8 who travels in company with evildoers and walks with wicked men?
8 Do you think he's spent too much time in bad company, hanging out with the wrong crowd,
8 Who goes in company with the workers of iniquity, And walks with wicked men?
8 He chooses evil people as companions. He spends his time with wicked men.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Job 34:8
Commentary on Job 34:1-9
(Read Job 34:1-9)
Elihu calls upon those present to decide with him upon Job's words. The plainest Christian, whose mind is enlightened, whose heart is sanctified by the Spirit of God, and who is versed in the Scriptures, can say how far matters, words, or actions, agree with true religion, better than any that lean to their own understandings. Job had spoken as if he meant wholly to justify himself. He that say, I have cleansed my hands in vain, does not only offend against God's children, Psalm 73:13-15, but gratifies his enemies, and says as they say.
