“Why do the wicked live on, growing old and increasing in power?” (21:7). While Job’s friend Zophar repeated the commonsense view that evil people have terrible lives (ch 20), Job pointed out that, sometimes, wicked people seem to be very successful. Job himself lived righteously yet lost everything; meanwhile, he saw wicked people still surrounded by their children and wealth (21:8-9). He considered Zophar’s words “nonsense” in light of his own experience (21:34).

“Can anyone teach knowledge to God ...?” (21:22). God gives us principles to live by, but not a ‘formula’ through which we can control the future. In an unpredictable world, He wants us to find our security in Him.
