Contextual Overview

¹⁵ The poore shall he deliuer out of his affliction, and rounde them in the eare when they be in trouble. ¹⁶ Euen so would he take thee out of the straite place, into a brode place in the which there is no straitnes: yea, & make thy table quiet replenished with fatnesse. ¹⁷ Neuerthelesse, thou hast commended the iudgement of the vngodly, and euen such a iudgement & sentence shalt thou suffer. ¹⁸ And seeing there is wrath with God, beware lest he take thee away in thy wealth, & all that thou hast to redeeme thee can not deliuer thee. ¹⁹ Thinkest thou that he wyll regarde thy riches? he shall not care for golde, nor for all them that excell in strength. ²⁰ Spend not the night in carefull thoughtes, how he destroyeth some, and bringeth other in their place. ²¹ But beware that thou turne not aside to wickednesse and sinne, which hitherto thou hast chosen more then affliction. ²² Beholde, God is of a mightie hie power: Where is there such a guide and lawe geuer as he? ²³ Who wyll reproue him of his way? Who wil say vnto him, Thou hast done wrong?

Gill's Notes on the Bible

But thou hast fulfilled the judgment of the wicked,.... Some w take this to be a continuation of the happiness Job would have enjoyed, had he behaved in his affliction as he ought to have done; then he would have been filled to satisfaction, by seeing the judgments of God exercised on wicked men, as on the Chaldeans and Sabeans, who had injured him: "and judgment and justice would have upheld thee"; when they should be cast down. But these words rather seem to be expressive of his present state, and the reason of it, he not being sufficiently humbled: and the sense is, not that he had lived a vicious course of life, as the wicked do, and filled up the measure of his wickedness as they; and so deserved to be filled with the like judgments as inflicted on them. Mr. Broughton reads the words,

"as thou hast fulfilled the sentence of the wicked, sentence and judgment have laid hold:''

but rather the meaning is, that he had "fulfilled the contention of the wicked" x; pleaded as they did, argued with God after their manner: and therefore is said to go in company and walk with them, and make answers for them, Job 34:8. Wherefore

justice and judgment take hold [on thee]; afflictions in righteousness, or the chastening hand of God, in righteous judgment, had taken hold upon him, and would hold him until he was sufficiently humbled under them.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

But thou hast fulfilled the judgment of the wicked - Rosenmuller explains this as meaning, “If under divine inflictions and chastisements you wish to imitate the obduracy of the wicked, then the cause and the punishment will mutually sustain them selves; that is, the one will be commensurate with the other.” But it is not necessary to regard this as a “supposition.” It has rather the aspect of; an affirmation, meaning to express the fact that Job “had,” as Elihu feared, envinced the same spirit in his trials which the wicked do. He had not seen in him evidence of penitence and of a desire to return to God, but had heard complaints and murmurings, such as the wicked indulge in. He had “filled up,” or “fulfilled,” the judgment of the wicked; that is, he had in no way come short of the opinion which “they” expressed of the divine dealings. Still it is possible that the word “if” may be here understood, and that Elihu means merely to state that if Job should manifest the same spirit with the wicked, instead of a spirit of penitence, he would have reason to apprehend the same doom which they experience.

Judgment and justice take hold on thee - Margin, “or, should uphold thee.” The Hebrew word here rendered “take” - יתמכוּ yitmokû, is from תמך tâmak - “to take hold of, to obtain, to hold fast, to support.” Rosenmuller and Gesenius suppose that the word here has a “reciprocal” sense, and means they take hold of each other, or sustain each other. Prof. Lee renders it, “Both judgment and justice will uphold this;” that is, the sentiment which he had just advanced, that Job had filled up the judgment of the wicked. Urnbrett renders it, “If thou art full of the opinion of the wicked, then the opinion and justice will rapidly follow each other.”

Doch worm du yell bist yon des Frevlers Urtheil,

So werden Urthoil und Gericht schnell auf einander folgen.

According to this the meaning is, that if Job held the opinions of wicked people, he must expect that these opinions would be rapidly followed by judgment, or that they would go together, and support each other. This seems to me to be in accordance with the connection, and to express the thought which Elihu meant to convey. It is a sentiment which is undoubtedly true - that if a man holds the sentiments, and manifests the spirit of the wicked, he must expect to be treated as they are.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Job 36:17. But thou hast fulfilled the judgment of the wicked — As thou art acting like the wicked, so God deals with thee as he deals with them.

Elihu is not a whit behind Job's other friends. None of them seems to have known any thing of the permission given by God to Satan to afflict and torment an innocent man.
