“Wherefore do the wicked live, become old, yea, are mighty in power?”
"Why do the wicked live, reach old age, and grow mighty in power?" Job's central question: the wicked prosper. They live to old age, accumulate power. This directly contradicts Zophar's insistence that the wicked's prosperity is brief. Job is asserting empirical fact against the friends' theory.
