Job 21:30 - Adam Clarke

Job 21:30

Compare all

28 For you say,
‘Where is the house of the prince?
And where is¹ the tent,
The dwelling place of the wicked?’

29 Have you not asked those who travel the road?
And do you not know their signs?

30 ^aFor the wicked are reserved for the day of doom;
They shall be brought out on the day of wrath.

31 Who condemns his way to his face?
And who repays him for what he has done?

32 Yet he shall be brought to the grave,
And a vigil kept over the tomb.

33 The clods of the valley shall be sweet to him;
^aEveryone shall follow him,
As countless have gone before him.

34 How then can you comfort me with empty words,
Since¹ falsehood remains in your answers?”

Job 21:30

That the wicked is reserved to the day of destruction? - Though every one can tell that he has seen the wicked in prosperity, and even spend a long life in it; yet this is no proof that God loves him, or that he shall enjoy a prosperous lot in the next world. There, he shall meet with the day of wrath. There, the wicked shall be punished, and the just rewarded.
