A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
to that which is!--Rather, "they are double to [man's] wisdom" [MICHAELIS]. So the Hebrew is rendered (Pro 2:7). God's ways, which you arraign, if you were shown their secret wisdom, would be seen vastly to exceed that of men, including yours (Co1 1:25).

exacteth--Rather, "God consigns to oblivion in thy favor much of thy guilt."

22 This is one [0259] thing, therefore I said [0559] it, He destroyeth [03615] the perfect [08535] and the wicked [07563].
29 This also cometh forth [03318] from the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], which is wonderful [06381] in counsel [06098], and excellent [01431] in working [08454].
16 With him is strength [05797] and wisdom [08454]: the deceived [07683] and the deceiver [07686] are his.
12 He disappointeth [06565] the devices [04284] of the crafty [06175], so that their hands [03027] cannot perform [06213] their enterprise [08454].
13 Is not my help [05833] in me? and is wisdom [08454] driven quite [05080] from me?
