First, Hypocrites, who corrupt the worship of God, or are corrupt while they pretend to worship God. Vers. 34. For the congregation of Hypocrites shall be desolate.
Secondly, Of oppressors, who pervert Justice, or deal falsely among men; The fire shall consume the Tabernacles of bribery.

Under these two heads, we may reduce all sorts of sinners; sinners against God, under the notion of Hypocrites: And sinners against men, under the notion of Oppressors, who pervert Judgement by giving or taking Bribes: All which Eliphaz concludes, by a description of their evil actings (the cause of all their sufferings) under that elegant metaphor of Child-bearing; They conceive mischief, and bring forth vanity, and their belly prepareth deceit: Thus you have the resolution and scope of the latter part of this Chapter.
