Job 21:7-21
7Wherefore do the wickedH7563 liveH2421, grow old, yea, become 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 1GodH433 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 shout to the tambour and harpH3658, and rejoiceH8055 at the soundH6963 of the pipe.
13They spend their daysH3117 in prosperity, and in a momentH7281 go down to SheolH7585.
14And they sayH559 unto 2GodH410, DepartH5493 from us, for we desireH2654 not the knowledgeH1847 of thy waysH1870!
15What is the AlmightyH7706 that we should serveH5647 him? and what are we profited if we pray unto him?
16Behold, their prosperityH2898 is not in their handH3027. The counselH6098 of the wickedH7563 be farH7368 from me!
17HowH4100 often is the lampH5216 of the wickedH7563 put out, and cometh their calamityH343 upon them? Doth he distribute sorrows [to them] in his angerH639?
18Do they becomeH1961 as stubble before the windH7307, and as chaffH4671 that the storm carrieth away?
193GodH433 layeth up [the punishment of] his iniquity for his children; he rewardeth him, and he shall knowH3045 [it]:
20His eyesH5869 shall seeH7200 his destruction, and he shall drinkH8354 of the fury of the AlmightyH7706.
21For what pleasureH2656 should he have in his houseH1004 after him, when the numberH4557 of his monthsH2320 is cut off?
