What the Fathers say

Job 21:30

Western Saints

Thomas Aquinas

He explains this truth then saying, "that the wicked man is spared for the day of perdition," as if to say: The fact that he is not punished, but prospers in this life, happens because his punishment is reserved for another time when he will be punished more gravely. So he says, "and he is brought to the day of fury,": for since fury is anger aroused, the name wrath denotes a harsher vengeance.
