Job 21:7-15

7Why do the wicked live, reach old age, and grow mighty in power?

8Their offspring are established in their presence, and their descendants before their eyes.

9Their houses are safe from fear, and no rod of God is upon them.

10Their bull breeds without fail; their cow calves and does not miscarry.

11They send out their little boys like a flock, and their children dance.

12They sing to the tambourine and the lyre and rejoice to the sound of the pipe.

13They spend their days in prosperity, and in peace they go down to Sheol.

14They say to God, 'Depart from us! We do not desire the knowledge of your ways.

15What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? And what profit do we get if we pray to him?'
