Job 21
17 - “How often is it that the lamp of the wicked is put out, that their calamity comes on them, that God distributes sorrows in his anger?
Select
1 - Then Job answered,
2 - “Listen diligently to my speech. Let this be your consolation.
3 - Allow me, and I also will speak; After I have spoken, mock on.
4 - As for me, is my complaint to man? Why shouldn’t I be impatient?
5 - Look at me, and be astonished. Lay your hand on your mouth.
6 - When I remember, I am troubled. Horror takes hold of my flesh.
7 - “Why do the wicked live, become old, yes, and grow mighty in power?
8 - Their child is established with them in their sight, their offspring before their eyes.
9 - Their houses are safe from fear, neither is the rod of God upon them.
10 - Their bulls breed without fail. Their cows calve, and don’t miscarry.
11 - They send out their little ones like a flock. Their children dance.
12 - They sing to the tambourine and harp, and rejoice at the sound of the pipe.
13 - They spend their days in prosperity. In an instant they go down to Sheol.
14 - They tell God, ‘Depart from us, for we don’t want to know about your ways.
15 - What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? What profit should we have, if we pray to him?’
16 - Behold, their prosperity is not in their hand. The counsel of the wicked is far from me.
17 - “How often is it that the lamp of the wicked is put out, that their calamity comes on them, that God distributes sorrows in his anger?
18 - How often is it that they are as stubble before the wind, as chaff that the storm carries away?
19 - You say, ‘God lays up his iniquity for his children.’ Let him recompense it to himself, that he may know it.
20 - Let his own eyes see his destruction. Let him drink of the wrath of the Almighty.
21 - For what does he care for his house after him, when the number of his months is cut off?
22 - “Shall any teach God knowledge, since he judges those who are high?
23 - One dies in his full strength, being wholly at ease and quiet.
24 - His pails are full of milk. The marrow of his bones is moistened.
25 - Another dies in bitterness of soul, and never tastes of good.
26 - They lie down alike in the dust. The worm covers them.
27 - “Behold, I know your thoughts, the devices with which you would wrong me.
28 - For you say, ‘Where is the house of the prince? Where is the tent in which the wicked lived?’
29 - Haven’t you asked wayfaring men? Don’t you know their evidences,
30 - that the evil man is reserved to the day of calamity, That they are led out to the day of wrath?
31 - Who shall declare his way to his face? Who shall repay him what he has done?
32 - Yet he will be borne to the grave. Men shall keep watch over the tomb.
33 - The clods of the valley shall be sweet to him. All men shall draw after him, as there were innumerable before him.
34 - So how can you comfort me with nonsense, because in your answers there remains only falsehood?”
Job 21:17
17 / 34
