Job 24:18-21
_ _ In these verses Job quotes the opinions of his adversaries ironically; he quoted them so before (Job 21:7-21). In Job 24:22-24, he states his own observation as the opposite. You say, “The sinner is swift, that is, swiftly passes away (as a thing floating) on the surface of the waters” (Ecclesiastes 11:1; Hosea 10:7).
_ _ is cursed — by those who witness their “swift” destruction.
_ _ beholdeth not — “turneth not to”; figuratively, for He cannot enjoy his pleasant possessions (Job 20:17; Job 15:33).
_ _ the way of the vineyards — including his fields, fertile as vineyards; opposite to “the way of the desert.”
Job 24:21
_ _ The reason given by the friends why the sinner deserves such a fate.
_ _ barren — without sons, who might have protected her.
_ _ widow — without a husband to support her. |
Job 24:21
He — He here returns to the declaration of his farther wickednesses, the cause of these judgments. Barren — Barrenness was esteemed a curse and reproach; and so he added affliction to the afflicted. |
Job 24:21
He (x) evil entreateth the barren [that] beareth not: and doeth not good to the widow.
(x) He shows why the wicked will not be lamented, because he did not pity others. |

Job 29:13 The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me: and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy.
Job 31:16-18 If I have withheld the poor from [their] desire, or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail; ... (For from my youth he was brought up with me, as [with] a father, and I have guided her from my mother's womb;)
