Now Job begins to look down the road, verse Job 21:17: How oft is the candle of the wicked put out! how oft cometh their destruction upon them! God distributeth sorrows in his anger. They are as stubble before the wind, as chaff that the storm carries away ( Job 21:17-18).
Thy ways are spiritual; we wish to live after the flesh. We have learned to do our own will; we do not wish to study thine.” (Clarke) B. The wisdom of God and the prosperity of the wicked. 1. (Job 21:17-21) God allows the wicked to prosper, at least in his own day.
This verse underscores Job's assertion that the apparent success of the wicked does not guarantee their eventual downfall, prompting the deeper inquiry into God's justice. Here, Job is not merely lamenting his own sufferings but also highlighting a broader theological dilemma regarding Divine retribution.
How often the lamps of the wicked will be extinguished, and ruin will come upon them! He will distribute corruption in his anger! Nevertheless, the lamp of the ungodly also shall be put out, and destruction shall come upon them, and pangs of vengeance shall seize them.
