“They are as stubble before the wind, and as chaff that the storm carrieth away. carrieth: Heb. stealeth”
Job 21:18 (KJV)
Commentary on Job 21:18
Do the wicked suffer like chaff: 'God distributeth sorrows in his anger.' Job continues questioning—does God actually distribute sorrows to the wicked as frequently as claimed? The imagery of chaff blown by wind and stubble carried by storm suggests how the wicked should be swept away. Job asks: does this actually happen consistently? His honest questioning doesn't deny God's justice but challenges mechanical application of retribution theology.
