This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressors, which they shall receive of the Almighty.
This is the portion appointed by God for the wicked man, and the heritage that oppressors receive from the Almighty, bringing punishment upon them. It stands within Job's answer that describes the wicked as prospering in this present life while facing punishment in the future. It declares the general truth that evil is ultimately punished. That truth does not mean that suffering proves the sufferer to be wicked or displeasing to God. Job's friends misapplied it when they treated his affliction as proof of his wickedness.
