Job 21:9 - Forerunner Commentary

Job 21:9

Compare all

7 ^aWhy do the wicked live and become old,
Yes, become mighty in power?

8 Their descendants are established with them in their sight,
And their offspring before their eyes.

9 Their houses are safe from fear,
^aNeither is¹ the rod of God upon them.

10 Their bull breeds without failure;
Their cow calves ^awithout miscarriage.

11 They send forth their little ones like a flock,
And their children dance.

12 They sing to the tambourine and harp,
And rejoice to the sound of the flute.

13 They ^aspend their days in wealth,
And¹ in a moment go down to the grave.

14 ^aYet they say to God, ‘Depart from us,
For we do not desire the knowledge of Your ways.

15 ^aWho is the Almighty, that we should serve Him?
And ^bwhat profit do we have if we pray to Him?’
