Commento su Giobbe 22:19

יִרְא֣וּ צַדִּיקִ֣ים וְיִשְׂמָ֑חוּ וְ֝נָקִ֗י יִלְעַג־לָֽמוֹ׃

I giusti lo videro e furono contenti E gli innocenti li ridevano per disprezzare:

Malbim on Job

Job may be impressed by these arguments but the truly righteous are not. They worship God for His own sake, and interpret any apparent deficiencies in this world as evidence of the existence of another perfect world: the Hereafter; the eternal world of the souls where all wrongs will be righted. So they rejoice in their worship, scornful of those who see no more to existence than just their immediate physical surroundings, which, like everything else in this world, will soon pass away
