Job continues speaking to his friends.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Why do the wicked continue to live, become old, and grow mighty in power? ##
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Job uses a question to introduce his speech and to cause his friends to think deeply about what he says. AT: "The wicked person indeed continues to live, becomes old, and becomes wealthier."
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## their offspring are established before their eyes ##
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This means the same as the first part of the sentence. The wicked person gets to watch his descendants grow strong and wealthy. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-parallelism]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])

## Their houses ##
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
AT: "Their families"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## rod of God ##
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This refers to God's punishment.
