Job 21:14 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Therefore Because of their constant prosperity, they say unto God Sometimes in words, but commonly in their thoughts and affections, and by the language of their lives, Depart from us Let us not be troubled with the apprehension of our being under God's eye, nor be restrained by the fear of him. Or, they bid him depart as one they do not need, nor have any occasion to apply to for help or comfort. The world is the portion which they have chosen, and with which they are satisfied, and in which they think themselves happy, and while they have that they can live without God. Justly will God say to them, Depart, who have bid him depart; and justly doth he now take them at their word. We desire not the knowledge of thy ways Much less the practice of them. They that are resolved not to walk in God's ways, desire not to know them, because their knowledge would be a continual reproach to their disobedience.
