Contextual Overview

17 How oft shall the candell of the wicked be put out, and their destruction come vpon them? O what sorowe shall God geue them for their part in his wrath? 18 Yea, they shalbe euen as hay before the winde, and as chaffe that the storme carieth away. 19 God wyll lay vp the sorowe of the father for his children: & when he rewardeth him, he shall know it. 20 Their owne miserie shal they see with their eyes, and drinke of the fearefull wrath of the almightie. 21 For what careth he for his house after his death, when the number of his monethes is cut short? 22 Seeing God hath the highest power of all, who can teache him any knowledge? 23 One dyeth in his full strength, being in all ease and prosperitie, 24 His breastes are full of milke, and his bones runne full of marowe. 25 Another dyeth in the bitternes of his soule, and neuer eateth with pleasure. 26 They shall sleepe both alyke in the earth, and the wormes shall couer them.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

His eyes shall see his destruction,.... Or "should see his destruction" b; calamities coming upon himself and upon his children; or otherwise it will not affect him: but when a man has a personal experience of affliction as punishments of his sin, or with his own eyes sees his children in distressed circumstances on his account, this must sensibly affect him, and be a sore punishment to him; as it was to Zedekiah to have his children slain before his eyes, Jeremiah 52:10;

and he shall drink of the wrath of the Almighty; or "he should drink" c of it now, according to the principles of Job's friends, even he in person, and not his posterity only; the wrath of God is on account of sin, and dreadful to bear: if the wrath of a temporal king is as the roaring of a lion, what must be the wrath of the Almighty God, the King of kings, and Lord of lords? this is frequently in Scripture compared to a cup, and is called a cup of trembling, of wrath and fury: and of which all the wicked of the earth shall drink sooner or later,

Psalms 75:8; but this they should do now, according to the notions of Job's friends, whereas they do not; waters of a full cup, though not in wrath indeed, are wrung out to the people of God, and, as they apprehend, in wrath, when the wicked drink wine in bowls, and the cup of their prosperity overflows.

b יראו עינו כריו "videret ejus oculi exitium suum", Beza, Cocceius. c ישתה "biberet", Beza, Cocceius.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

His eyes shall see his destruction - That is, his own eyes shall see his destruction, or the calamities that shall come upon him. That is, “You maintain that, or this is the position which you defend.” Job designs to meet this, and to show that it is not always so.

And he shall drink of the wrath of the Almighty - Wrath is often represented as a cup which the wicked are compelled to drink. See the notes, Isaiah 51:17.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Job 21:20. His eyes shall see his destruction — He shall perceive its approach, and have the double punishment of fearing and feeling; feeling a THOUSAND deaths in fearing ONE.

He shall drink of the wrath — The cup of God's wrath, the cup of trembling, c., is frequently expressed or referred to in the sacred writings, Deuteronomy 32:33 Isaiah 51:17-22; Jeremiah 25:15; Revelation 14:8. It appears to be a metaphor taken from those cups of poison which certain criminals were obliged to drink. A cup of the juice of hemlock was the wrath or punishment assigned by the Athenian magistrates to the philosopher Socrates.
