NETBible

But 1  the tents of robbers are peaceful, and those who provoke God are confident 2  – who carry their god in their hands. 3 

NET Notes

1 tn The verse gives the other side of the coin now, the fact that the wicked prosper.

2 tn The plural is used to suggest the supreme degree of arrogant confidence (E. Dhorme, Job, 171).

3 sn The line is perhaps best understood as describing one who thinks he is invested with the power of God.
