Verse 4 is found in chapter 21 of Job. Job asks his friends to listen before speaking again. He points out that some wicked people live many years, prosper, and appear secure. They even openly reject God. Job’s argument is empirical within the dialogue: the experience of the world does not always confirm that punishment for the wicked occurs immediately.
