Job 21:1 Meaning and Commentary

Job 21:1

But Job answered and said.
] In reply to what Zophar had asserted, concerning the prosperity of the wicked being only for a short time, ( Job 20:5 ) ; the contrary to which he most clearly proves, and that in many instances their prosperity continues as long as they live; that they die in it, and it is enjoyed by their posterity after them.

Job 21:1 In-Context

1 Job replied:

2 "Now listen to me carefully, please listen, at least do me the favor of listening.

3 Put up with me while I have my say - then you can mock me later to your heart's content.

4 "It's not you I'm complaining to - it's God. Is it any wonder I'm getting fed up with his silence?

5 Take a good look at me. Aren't you appalled by what's happened? No! Don't say anything. I can do without your comments.
