John Trapp on Job 21:9

Verſe 9. Their houſes are ſafe from fear] Seculi Latitia eſt impunita nequitia. No domeſtical ſcords, no forraign diſturbances, but peaceable poſſeſſion and enjoyment of that they have; as much welfare as David wiſhed to Nabal, 1 Sam. 25.5. Thus ſhall ye ſay to him that liveth (that is, that liveth proſperouſly, for that's the only life) Peace be to thee, and to thine houſe, and to all that thou haſt.

Neither is the rod of God upon them] So that they ſeem to themſelves and others to be out of the reach of Gods rod. They are not in trouble as other men, neither are they plagued like other men: Therefore pride compaſſeth them about as a chain,Auguſt. &c. Pſa. 73.5, 6. Vermis divitiarum eſt ſuperbia, It is hard for the rich not be high-minded, 1 Tim. 6.17.
