chapter_Job_21
Job 21:1: And Job answereth and saith: &#8212; Job 21:2: Hear ye diligently my word, And this is your consolation. Job 21:3: Bear with me, and I speak, And after my speaking &#8212; ye may deride. Job 21:4: I &#8212; to man is my complaint? and if so, wherefore May not my temper become short? Job 21:5: Turn unto me, and be astonished, And put hand to mouth. Job 21:6: Yea, if I have remembered, then I have been troubled. And my flesh hath taken fright. Job 21:7: Wherefore do the wicked live? They have become old, Yea, they have been mighty in wealth. Job 21:8: Their seed is established, Before their face with them, And their offspring before their eyes. Job 21:9: Their houses are peace without fear, Nor is a rod of God upon them. Job 21:10: His bullock hath eaten corn, and doth not loath. His cow bringeth forth safely, And doth not miscarry. Job 21:11: They send forth as a flock their sucklings, And their children skip, Job 21:12: They lift themselves up at timbrel and harp, And rejoice at the sound of an organ. Job 21:13: They wear out in good their days, And in a moment to Sheol go down. Job 21:14: And they say to God, 'Turn aside from us, And the knowledge of Thy ways We have not desired. Job 21:15: What is the Mighty One that we serve Him? And what do we profit when we meet with Him?' Job 21:16: Lo, not in their hand is their good, (The counsel of the wicked Hath been far from me.) Job 21:17: How oft is the lamp of the wicked extinguished, And come on them doth their calamity? Pangs He apportioneth in His anger. Job 21:18: They are as straw before wind, And as chaff a hurricane hath stolen away, Job 21:19: God layeth up for his sons his sorrow, He giveth recompense unto him &#8212; and he knoweth. Job 21:20: His own eyes see his destruction, And of the wrath of the Mighty he drinketh. Job 21:21: For what is his delight in his house after him, And the number of his months cut off? Job 21:22: To God doth one teach knowledge, And He the high doth judge? Job 21:23: This one dieth in his perfect strength, Wholly at ease and quiet. Job 21:24: His breasts have been full of milk, And marrow his bones doth moisten. Job 21:25: And this one dieth with a bitter soul, And have not eaten with gladness. Job 21:26: Together &#8212; on the dust they lie down, And the worm doth cover them over. Job 21:27: Lo, I have known your thoughts, And the devices against me ye do wrongfully. Job 21:28: For ye say, 'Where is the house of the noble? And where the tent &#8212; The tabernacles of the wicked?' Job 21:29: Have ye not asked those passing by the way? And their signs do ye not know? Job 21:30: That to a day of calamity is the wicked spared. To a day of wrath they are brought. Job 21:31: Who doth declare to his face his way? And for that which he hath done, Who doth give recompence to him? Job 21:32: And he &#8212; to the graves he is brought. And over the heap a watch is kept. Job 21:33: Sweet to him have been the clods of the valley, And after him every man he draweth, And before him there is no numbering. Job 21:34: And how do ye comfort me with vanity, And in your answers hath been left trespass?
