Job 21
|
|
| 21:1
But Job answered and said, |
|
| 21:2
Hear diligently my speech, and let this be your consolations. |
|
| 21:3
Suffer me that I may speak; and after that I have spoken, mock on. |
|
| 21:4
As for me, is my complaint to man? and if it were so, why should not my
spirit be troubled? |
|
| 21:5
Mark me, and be astonished, and lay your hand upon your mouth. |
|
| 21:6
Even when I remember I am afraid, and trembling taketh hold on my flesh. |
|
| 21:7
Wherefore do the wicked
live, become old, yea, are mighty in power? |
 (21:7) "Wherefore do the wicked live, become old, yea, are mighty in power?"
Do the wicked lived long and prosper?
|
| 21:8
Their seed is established in their sight with them, and their offspring
before their eyes.
|
| 21:9
Their houses are safe from fear, neither is the rod of God upon them. |
|
| 21:10
Their bull gendereth, and faileth not; their cow calveth, and casteth not
her calf. |
|
| 21:11
They send forth their little ones like a flock, and their children dance. |
|
| 21:12
They take the timbrel and harp, and rejoice at the sound of the organ. |
|
| 21:13
They spend their days in wealth, and in a moment go down to the grave. |
|
| 21:14
Therefore they say unto God, Depart from us; for we desire not the
knowledge of thy ways. |
|
| 21:15
What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? and what profit should we
have, if we pray unto him? |
|
| 21:16
Lo, their good is not in their hand: the counsel of the wicked is far from
me. |
|
| 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. |
|
| 21:18
They are as stubble before the wind, and as chaff that the storm carrieth
away. |
|
| 21:19
God layeth up his iniquity for his children: he rewardeth him, and he
shall know it. |
|
| 21:20
His eyes shall see his destruction, and he shall drink of the wrath of the
Almighty. |
|
| 21:21
For what pleasure hath he in his house after him, when the number of his
months is cut off in the midst? |
|
| 21:22
Shall any teach God knowledge? seeing he judgeth those that are high. |
|
| 21:23
One dieth in his full strength, being wholly at ease and quiet. |
|
| 21:24
His breasts are full
of milk, and his bones are moistened with marrow. |
 (21:24) "His breasts are full of milk."
|
| 21:25
And another dieth in the bitterness of his soul, and never eateth with
pleasure. |
|
| 21:26
They shall lie down alike in the dust, and the worms shall cover them. |
|
| 21:27
Behold, I know your thoughts, and the devices which ye wrongfully imagine
against me. |
|
| 21:28
For ye say, Where is the house of the prince? and where are the dwelling
places of the wicked? |
|
| 21:29
Have ye not asked them that go by the way? and do ye not know their
tokens, |
|
| 21:30
That the wicked is reserved to the day of destruction? they shall be
brought forth to the day of wrath. |
|
| 21:31
Who shall declare his way to his face? and who shall repay him what he
hath done? |
|
| 21:32
Yet shall he be brought to the grave, and shall remain in the tomb. |
|
| 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. |
|
| 21:34
How then comfort ye me in vain, seeing in your answers there remaineth
falsehood?
