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?
21:8 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.
21:25 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?
