Commentary on Job 21:17
Theological / DevotionalHow oft. Bildad had said, “Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out” (ch. 18:5). Job now asks, How often does this really happen?
Distributeth sorrows. This line should probably be read as a question parallel with the first two lines of the verse. The thought then would be, “How oft does God distribute sorrows in His anger?”
