Commentary on Job 21:20

Theological / Devotional

His eyes. This verse continues the thought of the previous verse, and may read: “Let their own eyes.” Job has observed that sinners die in prosperity and apparent favor, but he wishes it were not so. He is inclined to wish that his friends were right in their insistence that wickedness is recompensed in this life — but experience has taught him that they are not correct in their view.

Wrath. “Let them drink” (see Deut. 32:33; Isa. 51:17, 22; Jer. 25:15; Rev. 14:8).
