Matthew Poole's Concise Commentary

Job 27:22

God shall cast upon him his darts or plagues, one after another. And not spare, i.e. shall show no pity nor mercy to him, when he crieth to God for it. He would fain flee out of his hand; he earnestly desires and endeavours by all ways possible to escape the judgments of God, but all in vain.
