Job 21:11 (KJV)
Commentary on Job 21:11
The wicked's children flourish: 'They send forth their little ones like a flock, and their children dance.' Job contradicts his friends—the wicked's children DO prosper, dancing joyfully like frolicking lambs. This challenges simplistic retribution theology. If wickedness always brought swift judgment, the wicked's children would suffer. Job observes reality: the righteous sometimes suffer while the wicked prosper. This prepares for Psalm 73's later treatment of this problem.
