Job 21:1-16
1Then JobH347 answered and saidH559,
2HearH8085 diligently my speechH4405;And let this beH1961 your consolationsH8575.3Suffer me, and I also will speakH1696;And after that I have spokenH1696, mockH3932 on.4As for me, is my complaintH7879 to manH120?And whyH4069 should I not be impatient?5Mark me, and be astonished,And lay your handH3027 upon your mouthH6310.6Even when I rememberH2142 I am troubled,And horror taketh holdH270 on my fleshH1320.7Wherefore do the wickedH7563 liveH2421,Become old, yea, wax mighty in power?8Their seedH2233 is establishedH3559 with them in their sight,And their offspringH2233 before their eyesH5869.9Their housesH1004 are safe from fearH6343,Neither is the rodH7626 of GodH433 upon them.10Their bullH7794 gendereth, and faileth not;Their cowH6510 calveth, and casteth not her calf.11They sendH7971 forthH7971 their little ones like a flockH6629,And their childrenH3206 dance.12They sing to the timbrel and harpH3658,And rejoiceH8055 at the soundH6963 of the pipe.13They spend their daysH3117 in prosperity,And in a momentH7281 they go down to SheolH7585.14And they sayH559 unto GodH410, DepartH5493 from us;For we desireH2654 not the knowledgeH1847 of thy waysH1870.15What is the AlmightyH7706, that we should serveH5647 him?And what profitH3276 should we have, if we pray unto him?16Lo, their prosperityH2898 is not in their handH3027:The counselH6098 of the wickedH7563 is farH7368 from me.
