He is swift as the waters

Job 24:18–25, “He is swift as the waters; their portion is cursed in the earth: he beholdeth not the way of the vineyards. Drought and heat consume the snow waters: so doth the grave those which have sinned. The womb shall forget him; the worm shall feed sweetly on him; he shall be no more remembered; and wickedness shall be broken as a tree. He evil entreateth the barren that beareth not: and doeth not good to the widow. He draweth also the mighty with his power: he riseth up, and no man is sure of life. Though it be given him to be in safety, whereon he resteth; yet his eyes are upon their ways. They are exalted for a little while, but are gone and brought low; they are taken out of the way as all other, and cut off as the tops of the ears of corn. And if it be not so now, who will make me a liar, and make my speech nothing worth?”

These speeches are records of personal opinions as spoken by Job and his, so called, friends when Job suffered. They do not necessarily express Divine and eternal truths. Job’s friends were definitely expressing their own personal opinions. Here Job continued with his understanding of life, good and evil. The evil men seek to make the most of now and don’t worry about the future. When they die they are soon forgotten. It may seem as though there is no justice but the Lord will bring true justice in the end.
