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.
