“They spend their days in wealth, and in a moment go down to the grave. in wealth: or, in mirth”
Job 21:13 (KJV)
Commentary on Job 21:13
The wicked die peacefully: 'They spend their days in wealth, and in a moment go down to the grave.' Job observes that the wicked often live prosperously and die quickly (painlessly) rather than suffering prolonged death. The Hebrew 'rega' (moment) suggests instantaneous, peaceful death. This contradicts his friends' claims that the wicked always suffer terribly. Job's empirical observation challenges simplistic theodicy with complex reality.
