This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Job_24:23 [Though] it be given him [to be] in safety, whereon he resteth; yet his eyes [are] upon their ways.
Ver. 23. Though it be given him to be in safety] Heb. It is given him to be in safety, whereon he resteth. His safety and prosperity was given him for a better purpose; but (as if God had hired him to be wicked) he abuseth it to creature confidence, leaning too hard upon the arm of flesh.
Yet his eyes are upon their ways] Nevertheless God prospereth them (according to Psa_34:11). Or, as others sense it, God eyeth their wicked ways, and designeth them to destruction. And the next verse seemeth to make for this interpretation.
