Thomas Aquinas, on Job 22:19

“The just shall see, and shall rejoice, and the innocent shall laugh them to scorn.”

“Lest it seem the just also are overturned together with the wicked, Eliphaz excludes this adding, "The just will see it and will rejoice," and by this he wants to say that the just will not be ruined, but will live in joy. To show that they lack justice because they rejoiced over the ruin of others he says, "and the innocent will mock them," as if to say: The innocent can mock them safeguarding their innocence by the fact that they are undermined against their opinion. In this they rejoice in divine justice. This action seems to answer what Job had said directly, "After this, if it seems right to you, laugh," (21:3) where he seemed to complain that he was being mocked by them.”
