Job 8:22
Your enemies will be clothed in shame, and the tent of the wicked will be no more.”
BSB
ASV
They that hate thee shall be clothed with shame; And the tent of the wicked shall be no more.
KJV
They that hate thee shall be clothed with shame; and the dwelling place of the wicked shall come to nought.
They that hate thee shall be clothed with shame - When they see your returning prosperity, and the evidences of the divine favor. They will then be ashamed that they regarded you as a hypocrite, and that they reproached you in your trials. And the dwelling-place of the wicked ... - The wicked shall be destroyed, and his family shall pass away. That is, God will favor the righteous, but punish the wicked. This opinion the friends of Job maintain all along, and by this they urge him to forsake his sins, repent, and return to God.
Sin brings ruin on persons and families. Yet to argue (as Bildad, I doubt, slyly does) that because Job's family was sunk, and he himself at present seemed helpless, therefore he certainly was an ungodly wicked man, was neither just nor charitable, as long as there appeared no other evidence of his wickedness and ungodliness.
The haters of Job are the wicked. They shall be clothed with shame (Jer 3:25; 109:29), at the failure of their hope that Job would utterly perish, and because they, instead of him, come to naught.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.

Follow this verse’s cross-references two steps out. Each card is a verse this one points to, and beneath it the verses that one points to in turn. Where several different paths arrive at the same place, that place is listed first: the text keeps returning to it. Every stop shows its own words, and every stop is a page.
