Job 21:22
_ _ Reply of Job, “In all these assertions you try to teach God how He ought to deal with men, rather than prove that He does in fact so deal with them. Experience is against you. God gives prosperity and adversity as it pleases Him, not as man’s wisdom would have it, on principles inscrutable to us” (Isaiah 40:13; Romans 11:34).
_ _ those ... high — the high ones, not only angels, but men (Isaiah 2:12-17). |
Job 21:22
Teach — How to govern the world? For so you do, while you tell him that he must not afflict the godly, nor give the wicked prosperity. That he must invariably punish the wicked, and reward the righteous in this world. No: he will act as sovereign, and with great variety in his providential dispensations. High — The highest persons, on earth, he exactly knows them, and gives sentence concerning them, as he sees fit. |
Job 21:22
Shall [any] teach (l) God knowledge? seeing he judgeth those that are high.
(l) Who sends to the wicked prosperity and punishes the godly. |
