God gives them security and they are supported; his eyes are upon their ways, establishing that God's watchfulness and support of the wicked becomes incomprehensible given that the same omniscient God permits the poor to suffer. The giving of security to the wicked suggests deliberate divine action that ensures their stability and flourishing despite their corruption. The assertion that God's eyes are upon their ways indicates that God observes the wicked's actions and yet permits them to continue unchecked. This verse distills Job's complaint into a single image: the God who sees the wicked's cruelty neither judges nor corrects them, rendering divine omniscience a kind of complicity.
