Job21:7
7. Wherefore do the wicked live , become old ▪ yea, are mighty in power?
He expostulates this matter partly with his Friends; If things be as you say, how comes this to pass, &c. partly with God himself, wherefore doth the righteous God distribute things so unequally?
To wit, long and happily; as living is oft taken, as Levit. 18. 5. 1 Sam. 10. 24. & 25. 6. Psal. 38. 19. a painful and afflicted life being a kind of death, and oft so called, as Deut. 30. 15, 19. Prov. 15. 10. & 19. 16. 1 Cor. 3. 22. & 15. 31.
To wit, in their prosperous estate.
