This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
The tabernacles of robbers prosper: thy opinion, delivered Job_11:14, &c, is confuted by daily experience; which shows that the most wicked, and injurious, and impudent oppressors, tyrants, and robbers, are so far from meeting with those disappointments and miseries wherewith thou didst threaten them, that they commonly succeed in their cursed enterprises, and flourish in wealth and glory, and fill their houses with the goods of others which they violently took away; whereof the Chaldeans and Sabeans, Job_1:15,17, are a present and pregnant evidence.
They that provoke God are secure; they whose common practice it is to despise and provoke God are confident and secure, live without danger or fear.
Into whose hand God bringeth abundantly; so far is God from crushing such persons, that he seems to favour them with wonderful success, and by his special and more than common providence puts into their hands the opportunities which they seek, and the persons and goods of other more righteous men, which they lie in wait for.
