The Pulpit Commentary on Job 24:23

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

Though it be given him to be in safety, whereon he resteth; rather, he (i.e. God) granteth him to be in security' and thereon he resteth; i.e. God allows the escape of the wicked man from his trouble, and lets him live on, safe and secure, and the man himself rests on the security thus afforded him, quite contented with it.

Yet his eyes are upon their ways. God's eyes are still upon the ways of the wicked: they are, or seem to be, the objects of a special providential care.
