Job 21:17-21

17“How often [then] is it that the lamp of the wicked is put out, And that their disaster falls on them? Does God distribute pain and destruction and sorrow [to them] in His anger?

18Are they like straw before the wind, And like chaff that the storm steals and carries away?

19You say, ‘God stores away [the punishment of] man’s wickedness for his children.’ Let God repay him so that he may know and experience it.

20Let his own eyes see his destruction, And let him drink of the wrath of the Almighty.

21For what pleasure does he have in his house and family after he is dead, When the number of his months [of life] is cut off?
