American Standard Version
Job 21:7-21
7Wherefore do the wicked live,Become old, yea, wax mighty in power?8Their seed is established with them in their sight,And their offspring before their eyes.9Their houses are safe from fear,Neither is the rod of God upon them.10Their bull gendereth, and faileth not;Their cow calveth, and casteth not her calf.11They send forth their little ones like a flock,And their children dance.12They sing to the timbrel and harp,And rejoice at the sound of the pipe.13They spend their days in prosperity,And in a moment they go down to Sheol.14And they say unto God, Depart from us;For we desire not the knowledge of thy ways.15What is the Almighty, that we should serve him?And what profit should we have, if we pray unto him?16Lo, their prosperity is not in their hand:The counsel of the wicked is far from me.17How oft is it that the lamp of the wicked is put out?That their calamity cometh upon them?ThatGod distributeth sorrows in his anger?18That they are as stubble before the wind,And as chaff that the storm carrieth away?19Ye say, God layeth up his iniquity for his children.Let him recompense it unto himself, that he may know it:20Let his own eyes see his destruction,And let him drink of the wrath of the Almighty.21For what careth he for his house after him,When the number of his months is cut off?
