SEV Biblia, Chapter 21:20
Verán sus ojos su quebranto, y beberá de la ira del Todopoderoso.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Job 21:20
Verse 20. His eyes shall see his destruction ] He shall perceive its approach, and have the double punishment of fearing and feeling; feeling a THOUSAND deaths in fearing ONE. He shall drink of the wrath ] The cup of God's wrath, the cup of trembling, &c., is frequently expressed or referred to in the sacred writings, Deut. xxxii. 33; Isa. li. 17-22; Jeremiah xxv. 15; Rev. xiv. 8. It appears to be a metaphor taken from those cups of poison which certain criminals were obliged to drink. A cup of the juice of hemlock was the wrath or punishment assigned by the Athenian magistrates to the philosopher Socrates.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 17-26 - Job had described the prosperity of wicked people; in these verses he opposes this to what his friends had maintained about their certai ruin in this life. He reconciles this to the holiness and justice of God. Even while they prosper thus, they are light and worthless, of n account with God, or with wise men. In the height of their pomp an power, there is but a step between them and ruin. Job refers the difference Providence makes between one wicked man and another, int the wisdom of God. He is Judge of all the earth, and he will do right So vast is the disproportion between time and eternity, that if hell by the lot of every sinner at last, it makes little difference if one goe singing thither, and another sighing. If one wicked man die in palace, and another in a dungeon, the worm that dies not, and the fir that is not quenched, will be the same to them. Thus differences in this world are not worth perplexing ourselves about.
