Job 21

Job’s 3rd response to Zophar

There are 5 paragraphs which break this speech up.

v. 1-6

Job is polite in referring to Zophar, since Zophar was so eloquent in the previous chapter.

v. 4 If I were complaining to man then I would be really scared.

v. 7-15

Job makes the case, again, that wicked people live peaceful lives of prosperity until the day that they are taken from us.

They think that they don’t need God and that is how they act.

v. 16-21

Their end will be disastrous as they see the wrath of God.

Bear in mind that in Job’s previous speech (Ch. 19) he spoke of the resurrection and seeing God.

v. 22-26

The prosperous are taken away in their full strength whereas some die slowly in bitterness.

v.27-34

I know you think I’m a sinner, but I won’t be going where the wicked go.

Y’all don’t know what you’re talking about
