Context of Job 27:21
19He lies down rich, but never again; He opens his eyes, and it is no longer. 20Terrors overtake him like a flood; A tempest steals him away in the night. The east wind carries him away, and he is gone, For it whirls him away from his place. 22For it will hurl at him without sparing; He will surely try to flee from its power. 23Men will clap their hands at him And will hiss him from his place.

The ancients believed that people might be carried away by a tempest or whirlwind; compare Isaiah 41:16; see also Homer, Odyssey xx. 63ff: “Snatch me, ye whirlwinds far from human race, Test through the void illimitable space; Or if dismounted from the rapid cloud, Me with his…Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 11-23Verses 11-23 Job's friends, on the same subject, spoke of the misery of wicked men before death as proportioned to their crimes; Job considered that if it were not so, still the consequences of their death would be dreadful.

- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 11-2311-23. These words are contrary to Job's previous sentiments (see on Job 21:22-33; Job 24:22-25). Job 21:22-33; 24:22-25). They therefore seem to be Job's statement, not so much of his own sentiments, as of what Zophar would have said had he spoken when his turn came (end of the twenty-sixth chapter). So Job stated the friends' opinion (Job 21:17-21; 24:18-21). The objection is, why, if so, does not Job answer Zophar's opinion, as stated by himself? The…Read the comment
