Job 21:17-21
17“HowH4100 oftenH4100 is 1the lampH5216 of the wickedH7563 putH1846 out, Or does their 2calamityH343 fallH935 on them? Does 3God apportionH2505 destructionH2256 in His angerH639?18Are they as 4strawH8401 beforeH6440 the windH7307, And like 5chaffH4671 which the stormH5492 carriesH1589 awayH1589?19You say, ‘6GodH433 storesH6845 awayH6845 7a man’s iniquityH205 for his sonsH1121.’ Let 8God repayH7999 him so that he may knowH3045 it.20Let his 9own eyesH5869 seeH7200 his decayH3589, And let him 10drinkH8354 of the wrathH2534 of 11the AlmightyH7706.21For whatH4100 does he careH2656 for his householdH1004 12afterH310 him, When the numberH4557 of his monthsH2320 is cutH2686 offH2686?
