Exegesis
The construct chain atsat reshaim {עֲצַ֥ת רְ֝שָׁעִ֗ם | ʿă-ṣat re-šā-ʿîm} ‘counsel of the wicked’ designates the source of guidance, with rakhakah {רָ֣חֲקָה | rā-ḥă-qāh} ‘it is far’ conveying distance.
In context — Job 21:16
Behold, their prosperity is not in their own hand; the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
