Job 21:16
_ _ not in their hand — but in the hand of God. This is Job’s difficulty, that God who has sinners prosperity (good) in His hand should allow them to have it.
_ _ is — rather, “may the counsel of the wicked be far from me!” [Umbreit]. This naturally follows the sentiment of the first clause: Let me not hereby be thought to regard with aught but horror the ways of the wicked, however prosperous. |
Job 21:16
