Job 21

Job responds to his friends, challenging their view that the wicked are always punished by describing how the **wicked prosper**, live long lives, enjoy families and wealth, and die peacefully without experiencing God's rod of punishment[1][2][3]. He questions divine justice, notes the wicked's disdain for El Shaddai, rejects their counsel as false, and highlights the inscrutable nature of God's ways[1][2][4].
