| Job 21:1 |
|
But Job answered and said, |
|
|
|
|
| Job 21:2 |
|
Hear diligently my speech, and let this be your
consolations. |
| |
|
|
| Job 21:3 |
|
Suffer me that I may speak; and after that I
have spoken, mock on. |
| |
|
|
| Job 21:4 |
|
As for me, is my complaint to man? and if it
were so, why should not my spirit be troubled? |
| |
|
|
| Job 21:5 |
|
Mark me, and be astonished, and lay your hand
upon your mouth. |
| |
|
|
| Job 21:6 |
|
Even when I remember I am afraid, and trembling
taketh hold on my flesh. |
| |
|
|
| Job 21:7 |
|
Wherefore do the wicked live, become old, yea,
are mighty in power? |
|
|
|
| Job 21:8 |
|
Their seed is established in their sight with
them, 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 take the timbrel and harp, and rejoice
at the sound of the organ. |
|
|
|
| Job 21:13 |
|
They spend their days in wealth, and in a moment
go down to the grave. |
|
|
|
| Job 21:14 |
|
Therefore 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 good is not in their hand: the counsel
of the wicked is far from me. |
|
|
|
| Job 21:17 |
|
How oft is the candle of the wicked put out!
and how oft cometh their destruction upon them! God distributeth sorrows in his
anger. |
|
|
|
| Job 21:18 |
|
They are as stubble before the wind, and as
chaff that the storm carrieth away. |
|
|
|
| Job 21:19 |
|
God layeth up his iniquity for his children:
he rewardeth him, and he shall know it. |
| |
|
|
| Job 21:20 |
|
His eyes shall see his destruction, and he shall
drink of the wrath of the Almighty. |
| |
|
|
| Job 21:21 |
|
For what pleasure hath he in his house after
him, when the number of his months is cut off in the midst? |
|
|
|
|
| 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 breasts are full of milk, and his bones
are moistened with marrow. |
|
|
|
|
| Job 21:25 |
|
And another dieth in the bitterness of his soul,
and never eateth with pleasure. |
|
|
|
|
| Job 21:26 |
|
They shall lie down alike in the dust, and
the worms shall cover them. |
|
|
|
|
| Job 21:27 |
|
Behold, I know your thoughts, and the devices
which ye wrongfully imagine against me. |
|
|
|
|
| Job 21:28 |
|
For ye say, Where is the house of the prince?
and where are the dwelling places of the wicked? |
|
|
|
|
| Job 21:29 |
|
Have ye not asked them that go by the way?
and do ye not know their tokens, |
|
|
|
|
| Job 21:30 |
|
That the wicked is reserved to the day of destruction?
they shall be brought 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 brought to the grave, and shall
remain in the tomb. |
|
|
|
|
| Job 21:33 |
|
The clods of the valley shall be sweet unto
him, and every man shall draw after him, as there are innumerable before him. |
|
|
|
|
| Job 21:34 |
|
How then comfort ye me in vain, seeing in your
answers there remaineth falsehood? |
