Therefore they say unto God, Depart from us; for we desire not the knowledge of your ways.
All Commentaries on Job 21:14 Go To Job 21
Ephrem The Syrian
AD 373
Certainly God does not cease from benefiting the wicked, in order to show that he has no hate against them, so that they may not say, “Since God hates us, he will never open the door of repentance to us.” And while he severely and sternly acts with the righteous, he nevertheless offers his love to the unrighteous. The rewards to be granted in time for [righteous] virtues are the future signs of the good works they do.
