Commentary on Job 21:34

Theological / Devotional

In vain. Your philosophy is wrong, Job says to his friends. Your idea of divine retribution in this life is not borne out by the facts of human experience. There is no comfort in what you say because you do not speak the truth. This chapter may be called Job’s triumph over his opponents. He is not irritable as at first. His statements are less personal and more profound. This speech is marked by earnestness, confidence, and reverence.
