Job 21:23 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

One dieth in his full strength, being wholly at ease and quiet. One dieth in his full strength - In this and the three following verses Job shows that the inequality of fortune, goods, health, strength, etc., decides nothing either for or against persons in reference to the approbation or disapprobation of God, as these various lots are no indications of their wickedness or innocence. One has a sudden, another a lingering death; but by none of these can their eternal states be determined.
