JobChapter 21 |
|
1 THEN Job answered and said, |
|
2 Listen diligently to my speech, and let this be your consolation. |
|
3 Suffer me that I may speak; and after I have spoken, then mock on. |
|
4 I will utter my complaint to men, why my spirit is distressed. |
|
5 Return to me, and be astonished, and lay your hand upon your mouth. |
|
6 Even when I think of it, I tremble, and terror takes hold of my flesh. |
|
7 Why do the ungodly live, and why are the mighty in power full of years? |
|
8 Their descendants are established in their sight with them, and their children before their eyes. |
|
9 Their houses are safe from fear, neither is the rod of God upon them. |
|
10 Their bull breeds, and fails not; their cow calves, and does not cast her calf. |
|
11 Their children stand firm like a flock, and their boys dance. |
|
12 They take the timbrels and harps, and rejoice at the sound of singing. |
|
13 They spend their days in prosperity, and then suddenly go down to Sheol. |
|
14 They say to God, Depart from us; for we do not desire to know thy ways. |
|
15 Moreover, they say, Who is God, that we should serve him? And what would we gain, that we should pray to him? |
|
16 Lo, they have no power over their prosperity; the counsel of the ungodly is far from me. |
|
17 How often is it that the wicked are left without an heir! how often their destruction comes upon them! God distributes sorrows in his anger. |
|
18 They are like straw before the wind, and like chaff that the storm carries away. |
|
19 God reserves man's iniquity for his children; he pays it back to him, and he shall know it. |
|
20 His eyes shall see his destruction, and he shall drink of the wrath of the Almighty. |
|
21 For what pleasure has he in his house after him, when a portion of his years shall be reserved for his posterity? |
|
22 Shall any teach God knowledge, seeing it is he who judges the proud? |
|
23 One dies in his full strength, sound of body, being wholly confident, and at ease. |
|
24 His body is full of fat, and his bones are filled with marrow. |
|
25 And another dies in the bitterness of his soul, never having tasted prosperity. |
|
26 They shall lie down in the dust, and the worms shall cover them. |
|
27 Behold, I know your thoughts, and the devices which you wrongfully imagine against me. |
|
28 For you say. Where is the house of the righteous? And where is the place in which the wicked has pitched his tent? |
|
29 Have you not asked those who pass by the way? And do you not recognize their tokens? |
|
30 For the evil man is reserved for the day of destruction, he shall be remembered in the day of wrath. |
|
31 Who can show him the way? And who shall repay him for what he has done? |
|
32 Yet he shall be brought to the grave, he is reserved for misfortune. |
|
33 The depths of the valley shall swallow him, and many shall be drawn in after him, even as there are innumerable ahead of him. |
|
34 How then can you comfort me in vain, seeing that your abominable answers are multiplied before me? |
