Why Do the Live
Job 21:7
Why do the wicked live, become old, yes, are mighty in power?


1. That they may have the opportunity of being reconciled to God.

2. That they may be the instruments of good to others.

3. That they may display the long suffering and forbearance of God.

4. That they may furnish an argument for a future state of retribution.

5. That they may demonstrate the equity of their own everlasting condemnation.

(G. Brooks.)
