Job 21:7-34

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? 22Can any teachH3925 4GodH410 knowledgeH1847? And he it is that judgeth those that are highH7311. 23OneH2088 dieth in his full strength, being wholly at easeH7961 and quiet; 24His sides are fullH4390 of fat, and the marrow of his bonesH6106 is moistened; 25And another dieth in bitternessH4751 of soulH5315, and hath not tasted goodH2896: 26TogetherH3162 they lieH7901 down in the dustH6083, and the worms coverH3680 them. 27Lo, I knowH3045 your thoughtsH4284, and the devices ye wrongfully imagine against me. 28For ye sayH559, WhereH346 is the houseH1004 of the nobleH5081? and whereH346 the tentH168 of the dwellingsH4908 of the wickedH7563? 29Have ye not askedH7592 the wayfarers? and do ye not regardH5234 their tokens: 30That the wickedH7451 is reserved for the dayH3117 of calamityH343? They are led forth to the dayH3117 of wrathH5678. 31Who shall declareH5046 his wayH1870 to his faceH6440? and who shall repayH7999 him what he hath done? 32Yet is he carried to the gravesH6913, and watchH8245 is keptH8245 over the tombH6913. 33The clodsH7263 of the valley are sweetH4985 unto him; and every manH120 followeth suit after him, as there were innumerable before him. 34HowH349 then comfortH5162 ye me in vain? Your answersH8666 remainH7604 perfidious.
