Job 27:13 | MHM | STEP | v. 13–15 : Job teaches that the children of wicked people may seem to do well at first. His children are multiplied (Job 27:14 ), but many will die by the sword, or some will suffer hunger and not have enough food. Others may die from disease, being buried quickly and without honor. The families of the wicked will not even mourn for them. This shows how even a large family or many possessions cannot save them from God’s judgment (Psalm 17:14; 2 Samuel 24:13 ).

v. 13–15: Job teaches that the children of wicked people may seem to do well at first. His children are multiplied (Job 27:14 ^a), but many will die by the sword, or some will suffer hunger and not have enough food. Others may die from disease, being buried quickly and without honor. The families of the wicked will not even mourn for them. This shows how even a large family or many possessions cannot save them from God’s judgment (Psalm 17:14; 2 Samuel 24:13 ^b).
