Is not calamity for the unrighteous, and disaster for those who work iniquity, extending the theological principle by asserting that moral law operates such that the wicked experience calamity and the iniquitous experience disaster. The rhetorical question form expects affirmative answer, asserting that this causal connection represents moral reality. The specification of calamity for the unrighteous and disaster for the iniquitous suggests that wickedness produces its own consequences. The verse affirms Job's belief in moral order while using it to establish his own righteousness.
