Job 21:9 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Their houses are safe from fear, neither is the rod of God upon them.

Literally, peace from fear: with poetic force. Their house is peace itself, far removed from fear. Opposed to the friends' assertion as to the bad (Job 15:21-24; Job 20:26-28), and, conversely, the good (Job 5:23-24).
