Job 21:9

9 Sus hogares no corren ningún peligro,
y Dios no los castiga.

Job 21:9 Meaning and Commentary

Job 21:9

Their houses [are] safe from fear
Of enemies besetting them, entering into them, and pillaging and plundering them; of thieves and robbers breaking into them, and carrying off their substance: or "their houses [are] peace" ^F15; their families live in peace among themselves, or enjoy all prosperity, which the word peace frequently signifies; they have peace and prosperity within doors and are free "from fear", or devoid of fear, from anything without;

neither [is] the rod of God upon them;
neither his rod of chastisement, which is upon his own people, and with which he scourges every son, though in love for their good, and which was now upon Job, ( Job 9:34 ) ; nor any sore judgment, as famine, plague, sword, or any other; no, not even the common afflictions and troubles that men are exercised with.

mientras se vuelven viejos y poderosos?

8 Llegan a ver a sus hijos crecidos y establecidos,
y disfrutan de sus nietos.

9 Sus hogares no corren ningún peligro,
y Dios no los castiga.

sus pequeños saltan y bailan,
