Commentaire sur Job 12:6
יִשְׁלָ֤יוּ אֹֽהָלִ֨ים ׀ לְשֹׁ֥דְדִ֗ים וּֽ֭בַטֻּחוֹת לְמַרְגִּ֣יזֵי אֵ֑ל לַאֲשֶׁ֤ר הֵבִ֖יא אֱל֣וֹהַּ בְּיָדֽוֹ׃
Elles jouissent de la paix, les tentes des brigands; parfaite est la sécurité de ceux qui bravent le Tout-Puissant et ne reconnaissent d’autre dieu que leur force.
Rashi on Job
prosper I know that at times tents will prosper, namely those of the Kedarites who dwell in tents in the deserts, and who are robbers, as it is stated (Gen. 16:12): “a free man among men; his hand shall be against every man.”

Malbim on Job
Job now opens the second round of the debate and raises the question of the prosperity of the wicked. He argues that this too is a consequence of God's comprehensive foreknowledge. For as a result of this foreknowledge, man has no free-will and has no choice but to act as he does. Hence, even the most heinous deeds a person does must, in all justice, go unpunished.

are secure Those who provoke God have perfection, anyone to whom the Rock brought peace with His hand, whether he is good or bad.
