Giobbe 21:9

9 Le case loro non sono se non pace, senza spavento; E la verga di Dio non è sopra loro.

Giobbe 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.

Giobbe 21:9 In-Context

7 Perchè vivono gli empi? Perchè invecchiano, ed anche son forti e vigorosi?

8 La lor progenie è stabilita nel lor cospetto, insieme con loro; E i lor discendenti son davanti agli occhi loro.

9 Le case loro non sono se non pace, senza spavento; E la verga di Dio non è sopra loro.

10 I lor tori ammontano, e non fallano; Le lor vacche figliano, e non isperdono.

11 Essi mandano fuori i lor fanciulletti come pecore; E i lor figliuoli van saltellando.
