 |
| Job 21:1 |
|
Then Job answered and said, |
|
|
|
|
| Job 21:2 |
|
Hear diligently my speech; And let this be your
consolations. |
| |
|
|
| Job 21:3 |
|
Suffer me, and I also will speak; And after
that I have spoken, mock on. |
| |
|
|
| Job 21:4 |
|
As for me, is my complaint to man? And why should
I not be impatient? |
| |
|
|
| Job 21:5 |
|
Mark me, and be astonished, And lay your hand
upon your mouth. |
| |
|
|
| Job 21:6 |
|
Even when I remember I am troubled, And horror
taketh hold on my flesh. |
| |
|
|
| Job 21:7 |
|
Wherefore do the wicked live, Become old, yea,
wax mighty in power? |
|
|
|
| Job 21:8 |
|
Their seed is established with them in their
sight, And their offspring before their eyes. |
|
|
|
| Job 21:9 |
|
Their houses are safe from fear, Neither is
the rod of God upon them. |
|
|
|
| Job 21:10 |
|
Their bull gendereth, and faileth not; Their
cow calveth, and casteth not her calf. |
|
|
|
| Job 21:11 |
|
They send forth their little ones like a flock,
And their children dance. |
|
|
|
| Job 21:12 |
|
They sing to the timbrel and harp, And rejoice
at the sound of the pipe. |
|
|
|
| Job 21:13 |
|
They spend their days in prosperity, And in
a moment they go down to Sheol. |
|
|
|
| Job 21:14 |
|
And they say unto God, Depart from us; For we
desire not the knowledge of thy ways. |
|
|
|
| Job 21:15 |
|
What is the Almighty, that we should serve him?
And what profit should we have, if we pray unto him? |
|
|
|
| Job 21:16 |
|
Lo, their prosperity is not in their hand: The
counsel of the wicked is far from me. |
|
|
|
| Job 21:17 |
|
How oft is it that the lamp of the wicked is
put out? That their calamity cometh upon them? That God distributeth sorrows in
his anger? |
|
|
|
| Job 21:18 |
|
That they are as stubble before the wind, And
as chaff that the storm carrieth away? |
|
|
|
| Job 21:19 |
|
Ye say, God layeth up his iniquity for his children.
Let him recompense it unto himself, that he may know it: |
| |
|
|
| Job 21:20 |
|
Let his own eyes see his destruction, And let
him drink of the wrath of the Almighty. |
| |
|
|
| Job 21:21 |
|
For what careth he for his house after him,
When the number of his months is cut off? |
|
|
|
|
| Job 21:22 |
|
Shall any teach God knowledge, Seeing he judgeth
those that are high? |
|
|
|
|
| Job 21:23 |
|
One dieth in his full strength, Being wholly
at ease and quiet: |
|
|
|
|
| Job 21:24 |
|
His pails are full of milk, And the marrow of
his bones is moistened. |
|
|
|
|
| Job 21:25 |
|
And another dieth in bitterness of soul, And
never tasteth of good. |
|
|
|
|
| Job 21:26 |
|
They lie down alike in the dust, And the worm
covereth them. |
|
|
|
|
| Job 21:27 |
|
Behold, I know your thoughts, And the devices
wherewith ye would wrong me. |
|
|
|
|
| Job 21:28 |
|
For ye say, Where is the house of the prince?
And where is the tent wherein the wicked dwelt? |
|
|
|
|
| Job 21:29 |
|
Have ye not asked wayfaring men? And do ye not
know their evidences, |
|
|
|
|
| Job 21:30 |
|
That the evil man is reserved to the day of
calamity? That they are led forth to the day of wrath? |
|
|
|
|
| Job 21:31 |
|
Who shall declare his way to his face? And who
shall repay him what he hath done? |
|
|
|
|
| Job 21:32 |
|
Yet shall he be borne to the grave, And men
shall keep watch over the tomb. |
|
|
|
|
| Job 21:33 |
|
The clods of the valley shall be sweet unto
him, And all men shall draw after him, As there were innumerable before him. |
|
|
|
|
| Job 21:34 |
|
How then comfort ye me in vain, Seeing in your
answers there remaineth only falsehood? |
