Job 21:1-16

1But JobH347 answeredH6030 and saidH559,

2HearH8085 diligentlyH8085 my speechH4405, and let this be your consolationsH8575.

3SufferH5375 me that I may speakH1696; and afterH310 that I have spokenH1696, mock onH3932.

4As for me, is my complaintH7879 to manH120? and if it were so, why should not my spiritH7307 be troubledH7114?1

5MarkH6437 me, and be astonishedH8074, and layH7760 your handH3027 upon your mouthH6310.2

6Even when I rememberH2142 I am afraidH926, and tremblingH6427 taketh hold onH270 my fleshH1320.

7Wherefore do the wickedH7563 liveH2421, become oldH6275, yea, are mightyH1396 in powerH2428?

8Their seedH2233 is establishedH3559 in their sightH6440 with them, and their offspringH6631 before their eyesH5869.

9Their housesH1004 are safeH7965 from fearH6343, neither is the rodH7626 of GodH433 upon them.3

10Their bullH7794 genderethH5674, and failethH1602 not; their cowH6510 calvethH6403, and casteth not her calfH7921.

11They send forthH7971 their little onesH5759 like a flockH6629, and their childrenH3206 danceH7540.

12They takeH5375 the timbrelH8596 and harpH3658, and rejoiceH8055 at the soundH6963 of the organH5748.

13They spendH1086H3615 their daysH3117 in wealthH2896, and in a momentH7281 go downH5181H2865 to the graveH7585.4

14Therefore they sayH559 unto GodH410, DepartH5493 from us; for we desireH2654 not the knowledgeH1847 of thy waysH1870.

15What is the AlmightyH7706, that we should serveH5647 him? and what profitH3276 should we have, if we prayH6293 unto him?

16Lo, their goodH2898 is not in their handH3027: the counselH6098 of the wickedH7563 is farH7368 from me.
