Job 24:1

CONTENTS

The general scope of Job's reasoning in this chapter, is much to the same purport as he had before made use of; namely, that from the outward circumstances, either of the wicked or the righteous, no right judgment could be formed to draw conclusions concerning either.

Job 24:1

(1) В¶ Why, seeing times are not hidden from the Almighty, do they that know him not see his days?

Job opens the subject with a pertinent question, which is as much as to say, If you think that riches and prosperity are sure marks of GOD'S favor, and the reverse, in poverty and adversity, the evident indications of his displeasure; on what principle consistent with this maxim, will you make it appear, how it is that the knowledge and love of GOD, in the discernment of his ways, do not keep pace with it?
