Job 21:17-21
17“How often is 1the lamp of the wicked put out, Or does their 2calamity fall on them? Does 3God apportion destruction in His anger?18Are they as 4straw before the wind, And like 5chaff which the storm carries away?19You say, ‘6God stores away 7a man’s iniquity for his sons.’ Let 8God repay him so that he may know it.20Let his 9own eyes see his decay, And let him 10drink of the wrath of 11the Almighty.21For what does he care for his household 12after him, When the number of his months is cut off?
