Job 24:23 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Though it be given him Namely, of God; to be in safety That is, Though God granteth to the oppressor to be for a time in apparent safety, and to live a comfortable life; whereon he resteth His former experience of God's long-suffering makes him confident of the continuance of it, so that he is not only happy in his present enjoyments, but also in his freedom from distracting fears of future miseries; yet his eyes are upon their ways That is, the eyes of God, who, although he gives wicked men such strange successes and great prosperity, yet he sees and observes them all, and marks their whole conduct, and will in due time punish them severely.
