This Chapter Verse Commentaries:





He expostulates this matter partly with his friends, If things be as you say, how comes this to pass, &c? partly with God himself, Wherefore doth the righteous God distribute things so unequally?



The wicked live, to wit, long and happily; as living is oft taken, as Lev_18:5 1Sa_10:24 25:6 Psa_38:19; a painful and afflicted life being a kind of death, and oft so called, as Deu_30:15,19 Pr 15:10 19:16 1Co_3:22 15:31.



Become old, to wit, in their prosperous estate.
