Commentary on Job 21:7 (Summary)

Job 21:7 (ESV)

7 Why do the wicked live, reach old age, and grow mighty in power?

Job’s friends have all argued that the wicked face a premature death (Job 15:20–22; Job 18:5–6; Job 20:11). Yet Job sees not only old age but also lasting strength and success among the wicked.
