EXPLANATION

Verse 1. Days, when he will be punished. Menochius.—They are convinced it will be sometime: while the wicked flatter themselves with impunity. Worthington.—Job has already shewn that his complaints had not been excessive, and that they were extorted chiefly by the dread which he had of God. He now comes to prove that he had not denied Providence. For though he asserted that the wicked were sometimes at ease, he maintained that there was another world, where all would be set to rights. Without this the book would be inexplicable. Calmet.—Know him. Septuagint “the impious.” Bible.
