Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

13. wealth-Old English Version for "prosperity."

in a moment-not by a lingering disease. Great blessings! Lengthened life with prosperity, and a sudden painless death (Ps 73:4).

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

21:7-16 Job says, Remarkable judgments are sometimes brought upon notorious sinners, but not always. Wherefore is it so? This is the day of God's patience; and, in some way or other, he makes use of the prosperity of the wicked to serve his own counsels, while it ripens them for ruin; but the chief reason is, because he will make it appear there is another world. These prospering sinners make light of God and religion, as if because they have so much of this world, they had no need to look after another. But religion is not a vain thing. If it be so to us, we may thank ourselves for resting on the outside of it. Job shows their folly.


Job 21:23 "One dies in his full strength, Being wholly at ease and satisfied;
Job 36:11 "If they hear and serve Him, They will end their days in prosperity And their years in pleasures. (NASB ©1995)
