King James Bible - Job 21:16

Lo, their good is not in their hand: the counsel of the wicked is far from me.

World English Bible

Behold, their prosperity is not in their hand. The counsel of the wicked is far from me.

Douay-Rheims - Job 21:16

Yet because their good things are not in their hand, may the counsel of the wicked be far from me.

Webster's Bible Translation

Lo, their good is not in their hand: the counsel of the wicked is far from me.

Original Hebrew

SEV Biblia, Chapter 21:16

He aquí que su bien no está en manos de ellos; el consejo de los impíos lejos esté de mí.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Job 21:16

Verse 16. Their good is not in their hand ] With all their boasting and self-dependence,
God only lends them his bounty; and though it appears to be their own, yet it is at his disposal. Some of the wicked he permits to live and die in affluence, provided it be acquired in the ordinary way of his providence, by trade, commerce, &c. Others he permits to possess it for a while only, and then strips them of their illegally procured property.

The counsel of the wicked is far from me. ] Some understand the words thus: "Far be it from me to advocate the cause of the wicked." I have nothing in common with them, and am not their apologist. I state a fact: they are often found in continual prosperity. I state another fact: they are often found in wretchedness and misery.


Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 7-16 - Job says, Remarkable judgments are sometimes brought upon notoriou sinners, but not always. Wherefore is it so? This is the day of God' patience; and, in some way or other, he makes use of the prosperity of the wicked to serve his own counsels, while it ripens them for ruin but the chief reason is, because he will make it appear there is another world. These prospering sinners make light of God and religion as if because they have so much of this world, they had no need to loo after another. But religion is not a vain thing. If it be so to us, we may thank ourselves for resting on the outside of it. Job shows their folly.
