“He shall not see the rivers, the floods, the brooks of honey and butter. the floods: or, streaming brooks”
Job 20:17 (KJV)
Commentary on Job 20:17
The wicked won't enjoy prosperity: 'He shall not see the rivers, the floods, the brooks of honey and butter.' Zophar describes covenant blessings—the land flowing with milk and honey—that the wicked forfeit. The imagery of rivers, floods, and brooks emphasizes abundance. While covenant theology affirms that persistent wickedness forfeits blessing, this doesn't explain Job's situation. Job lived righteously yet lost blessings.
