Job 21: When the Wicked Prosper and God’s Justice Seems Delayed
Show Summary
In Job 21, Job confronts a hard reality that believers still wrestle with today: the wicked often seem to prosper
while the righteous suffer. Job refuses shallow formulas and calls his friends to listen, observe honestly, and
reckon with God’s sovereign providence. This chapter reminds us that temporary prosperity is not eternal security,
and that true faith rests not in circumstances, but in the unchanging character of God.
