SEV Biblia, Chapter 22:16

Los cuales fueron cortados antes de tiempo, cuyo fundamento fue como un río derramado.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Job 22:16

Verse 16. Whose foundation was overflown with a flood ] The unrighteous in the days of Noah, who appear to have had an abundance of all temporal good, (ver. 18,) and who surpassed the deeds of all the former wicked, said in effect to God, Depart from us. And when Noah preached unto them the terrors of the Lord, and the necessity of repentance, they rejected his preaching with, What can the Almighty do for us? Let him do his worst; we care not for him, ver. 17. For wml lamo, to THEM, the Septuagint, Syriac, and Arabic have evidently read wnl lanu, to US. This reading quotes their own saying; the former reading narrates it in the third person. The meaning, however, is the same.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 15-20 - Eliphaz would have Job mark the old way that wicked men have trodden and see what the end of their way was. It is good for us to mark it that we may not walk therein. But if others are consumed, and we ar not, instead of blaming them, and lifting up ourselves, as Eliphaz doe here, we ought to be thankful to God, and take it for a warning.
