Wesley's Notes

21:3 Speak - without interruption. Mock - If I do not defend my cause with solid arguments, go on in your scoffs.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

3. literally, "Begin your mockings" (Job 17:2).

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

21:1-6 Job comes closer to the question in dispute. This was, Whether outward prosperity is a mark of the true church, and the true members of it, so that ruin of a man's prosperity proves him a hypocrite? This they asserted, but Job denied. If they looked upon him, they might see misery enough to demand compassion, and their bold interpretations of this mysterious providence should be turned into silent wonder.


Job 11:3 "Shall your boasts silence men? And shall you scoff and none rebuke?
Job 17:2 "Surely mockers are with me, And my eye gazes on their provocation. (NASB ©1995)
