Gill's Notes on the Bible

But Job answered and said. In reply to what Zophar had asserted, concerning the prosperity of the wicked being only for a short time, Job 20:5; the contrary to which he most clearly proves, and that in many instances their prosperity continues as long as they live; that they die in it, and it is enjoyed by their posterity after them.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER XXI

Job expresses himself as puzzled by the dispensations of Divine

Providence, because of the unequal distribution of temporal

goods; he shows that wicked men often live long, prosper in

their families, in their flocks, and in all their substance,

and yet live in defiance of God and sacred things, 1-16.

At other times their prosperity is suddenly blasted, and they

and their families come to ruin, 17-21.

God, however, is too wise to err; and he deals out various lots

to all according to his wisdom: some come sooner, others later,

to the grave: the strong and the weak, the prince and the

peasant, come to a similar end in this life; but the wicked

are reserved for a day of wrath, 22-33.

He charges his friends with falsehood in their pretended

attempts to comfort him, 34.
