Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 27. - Yea, ye overwhelm the fatherless; rather, on the fatherless would ye east lots (comp. Joel 3:3; Obadiah 1:11; Nahum 3:10). Job means to say they are so pitiless that they would cast lots for the children of an insolvent debtor condemned to become slaves at his death (see 2 Kings 4:1; Nehemiah 5:5). And ye dig a pit for your friend; or, ye would make merchandise of your friend as in the Revised Version. Job does not speak of what his friends had done, but of what he deems them capable of doing.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(27) Yea, ye overwhelm the fatherless.--Rather, probably, Ye would cast lots upon the fatherless, and make merchandise of your friend. This is morein accordance with the language, and preserves the parallelism.
