Job 21 |
King James Version
The listed verse explanations of the individual persons have nothing to do with the explanations of the other persons. This also applies to the Bible translations.
Job 21:1 But Job answered and said,
Job entreats attention
Job comes closer to the question in dispute. This was, Whether outward prosperity is a mark of the true church, and the true members of it, so that ruin of a man’s prosperity proves him a hypocrite? This they asserted, but Job denied. If they looked upon him, they might see misery enough to demand compassion, and their bold interpretations of this mysterious providence should be turned into silent wonder.

1But Job answered and said,2Hear diligently my speech, and let this be your consolations.3Suffer me that I may speak; and after that I have spoken, mock on.4As for me, [is] my complaint to man? and if [it were so], why should not my spirit be troubled?5Mark me, and be astonished, and lay [your] hand upon [your] mouth.6Even when I remember I am afraid, and trembling taketh hold on my flesh.

Title: Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Whole Bible Author: Matthew Henry
Let us admit, he says, that I am iniquitous and impious; but I gain no profit from these remarks and know that you will mock me; therefore, I do not yield. “And what!” he says, “is it a mortal who blames me?” that is, no mortal can blame me. I am not fighting against a man. “When I think of it, I am dismayed and pains seize my flesh.” Notice how he always stands up, how he puts forward his sufferings, how he indicates the reason for the terrible words he is going to speak, because he does not talk in this manner by himself or from a fixed position but because his soul is dismayed and his thoughts are darkened. - "Commentary on Job 21.3–6"

Job 21:7 Wherefore do the wicked live, become old, yea, are mighty in power?
The prosperity of the wicked
Job says, Remarkable judgments are sometimes brought upon notorious sinners, but not always. Wherefore is it so? This is the day of God’s patience; and, in some way or other, he makes use of the prosperity of the wicked to serve his own counsels, while it ripens them for ruin; but the chief reason is, because he will make it appear there is another world. These prospering sinners make light of God and religion, as if because they have so much of this world, they had no need to look after another. But religion is not a vain thing. If it be so to us, we may thank ourselves for resting on the outside of it. Job shows their folly.

7Wherefore do the wicked live, become old, yea, are mighty in power?8Their seed is established in their sight with them, and their offspring before their eyes.9Their houses [are] safe from fear, neither [is] the rod of God upon them.10Their bull gendereth, and faileth not; their cow calveth, and casteth not her calf.11They send forth their little ones like a flock, and their children dance.12They take the timbrel and harp, and rejoice at the sound of the organ.13They spend their days in wealth, and in a moment go down to the grave.14Therefore they say unto God, Depart from us; for we desire not the knowledge of thy ways.15What [is] the Almighty, that we should serve him? and what profit should we have, if we pray unto him?16Lo, their good [is] not in their hand: the counsel of the wicked is far from me.

Title: Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Whole Bible Author: Matthew Henry
Certainly God does not cease from benefiting the wicked, in order to show that he has no hate against them, so that they may not say, “Since God hates us, he will never open the door of repentance to us.” And while he severely and sternly acts with the righteous, he nevertheless offers his love to the unrighteous. The rewards to be granted in time for [righteous] virtues are the future signs of the good works they do. - "Commentary on Job 21.3–7"

Job 21:17 How oft is the candle of the wicked put out! and [how oft] cometh their destruction upon them! [God] distributeth sorrows in his anger.
The dealings of God’s providence
Job had described the prosperity of wicked people; in these verses he opposes this to what his friends had maintained about their certain ruin in this life. He reconciles this to the holiness and justice of God. Even while they prosper thus, they are light and worthless, of no account with God, or with wise men. In the height of their pomp and power, there is but a step between them and ruin. Job refers the difference Providence makes between one wicked man and another, into the wisdom of God. He is Judge of all the earth, and he will do right. So vast is the disproportion between time and eternity, that if hell be the lot of every sinner at last, it makes little difference if one goes singing thither, and another sighing. If one wicked man die in a palace, and another in a dungeon, the worm that dies not, and the fire that is not quenched, will be the same to them. Thus differences in this world are not worth perplexing ourselves about.

Thus differences in this world are not worth perplexing ourselves about.
Verses that belong to this explanation: 17-26
17How oft is the candle of the wicked put out! and [how oft] cometh their destruction upon them! [God] distributeth sorrows in his anger.18They are as stubble before the wind, and as chaff that the storm carrieth away.19God layeth up his iniquity for his children: he rewardeth him, and he shall know [it].20His eyes shall see his destruction, and he shall drink of the wrath of the Almighty.21For what pleasure [hath] he in his house after him, when the number of his months is cut off in the midst?22Shall [any] teach God knowledge? seeing he judgeth those that are high.23One dieth in his full strength, being wholly at ease and quiet.24His breasts are full of milk, and his bones are moistened with marrow.25And another dieth in the bitterness of his soul, and never eateth with pleasure.26They shall lie down alike in the dust, and the worms shall cover them.

Job 21:19 God layeth up his iniquity for his children: he rewardeth him, and he shall know [it].
The dealings of God’s providence
Job had described the prosperity of wicked people; in these verses he opposes this to what his friends had maintained about their certain ruin in this life. He reconciles this to the holiness and justice of God. Even while they prosper thus, they are light and worthless, of no account with God, or with wise men. In the height of their pomp and power, there is but a step between them and ruin. Job refers the difference Providence makes between one wicked man and another, into the wisdom of God. He is Judge of all the earth, and he will do right. So vast is the disproportion between time and eternity, that if hell be the lot of every sinner at last, it makes little difference if one goes singing thither, and another sighing.

Title: Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Whole Bible Author: Matthew Henry
Since he spoke before him [Zophar] and said “from the time man was set upon the earth,” things go on in this manner. Job addresses his reproaches to him, because he ignores what is clear and evident. He says to him, you asserted that things are not as I said, but quite the opposite. Therefore, no one must know the secret plans of God, who rules the entire creation. Now tell me, why are those who are not impious punished? One is in need, the other in wealth, but their wickedness is the same. - "Commentary on Job 21.19–22a"

Job 21:27 Behold, I know your thoughts, and the devices [which] ye wrongfully imagine against me.
The judgment of the wicked is in the world to come
Job opposes the opinion of his friends, That the wicked are sure to fall into visible and remarkable ruin, and none but the wicked; upon which principle they condemned Job as wicked. Turn to whom you will, you will find that the punishment of sinners is designed more for the other world than for this, [Jude 1:14-15]. The sinner is here supposed to live in a great deal of power. The sinner shall have a splendid funeral: a poor thing for any man to be proud of the prospect of. He shall have a stately monument. And a valley with springs of water to keep the turf green, was accounted an honorable burial place among eastern people; but such things are vain distinctions. Death closes his prosperity. It is but a poor encouragement to die, that others have died before us. That which makes a man die with true courage, is, with faith to remember that Jesus Christ died and was laid in the grave, not only before us, but for us. That He hath gone before us, and died for us, who is alive and liveth for us, is true consolation in the hour of death.

Turn to whom you will, you will find that the punishment of sinners is designed more for the other world than for this, [Jude 1:14-15]. The sinner is here supposed to live in a great deal of power. The sinner shall have a splendid funeral: a poor thing for any man to be proud of the prospect of. He shall have a stately monument. And a valley with springs of water to keep the turf green, was accounted an honorable burial place among eastern people; but such things are vain distinctions. Death closes his prosperity. It is but a poor encouragement to die, that others have died before us. That which makes a man die with true courage, is, with faith to remember that Jesus Christ died and was laid in the grave, not only before us, but for us. That He hath gone before us, and died for us, who is alive and liveth for us, is true consolation in the hour of death.

27Behold, I know your thoughts, and the devices [which] ye wrongfully imagine against me.28For ye say, Where [is] the house of the prince? and where [are] the dwelling places of the wicked?29Have ye not asked them that go by the way? and do ye not know their tokens,30That the wicked is reserved to the day of destruction? they shall be brought forth to the day of wrath.31Who shall declare his way to his face? and who shall repay him [what] he hath done?32Yet shall he be brought to the grave, and shall remain in the tomb.33The clods of the valley shall be sweet unto him, and every man shall draw after him, as [there are] innumerable before him.34How then comfort ye me in vain, seeing in your answers there remaineth falsehood?
