Haydock's commentary
Abound. Hebrew, "are at peace." (Calmet)
The prosperity of the wicked is therefore no proof that they are pleasing to him. (Haydock)
All nature testifies that God exercises a sovereign dominion over his works. He may therefore cause the just to suffer, though they be guiltless. This is one of Job's grand maxims. (Calmet)
