Commentary on Job 21:20
The sinner should experience judgment: 'Let him drink of the wrath of the Almighty.' Job wants the wicked themselves to experience divine wrath, not escape through death or have only their children suffer. The cup metaphor for divine wrath appears throughout Scripture (Psalm 75:8, Revelation 14:10). Job's desire for just judgment isn't vindictive but reflects proper moral sense that evil should be punished.
