Mark me, and be astonished, and lay your hand upon your mouth. Job 21:5
He didn’t let them beat him down with their words without a harsh response. They deserved him calling them out. The point of Job’s rebuttal is that their accusations don’t make sense because the wicked prosper here on earth, and their punishment comes after death. They are but chaff that will be blown away in the wind. The wicked may prosper here on earth, but their punishment will be severe when they face hell in the afterlife, and those who love the Lord will prosper in the care of the Almighty.
Their bull gendereth, and faileth not; their cow calveth, and casteth not her calf. Job 21:10
They continue in their wickedness without the thought of God, and don’t concern themselves about their punishment because they don’t consider God at all.
Don’t allow the troubles of this world to drag you down. Hold your head up because we are blessed to have God on our side and the promise of prosperity when King Jesus comes to claim his kingdom and expel evil from his presence.
Have ye not asked them that go by the way? and do ye not know their tokens, That the wicked is reserved to the day of destruction? they shall be brought forth to the day of wrath. Job 21:29-30
The newborn in the picture had to be pulled because he got stuck. Yes, the cow calved, but it wasn't an easy delivery.
