Job 21:1-16

1Then JobH347 answeredH559 and saidH559,

2HearH8085 diligentlyH8085 my speechH4405; and letH1961 this be your consolationsH8575.

3SufferH5375 meH310, and I also will speakH1696; and afterH310 that I have spokenH1696, mockH3932 on.

4As for meH3808, is my complaintH7879 to manH120? and whyH4069 should I notH3808 be impatient?

5MarkH7760 meH413, and be astonishedH8074, and layH7760 your handH3027 uponH5921 your mouthH6310.

6EvenH518 when I rememberH2142 I am troubled, and horrorH6427 taketh holdH270 on my fleshH1320.

7Wherefore do the wickedH7563 liveH2421, becomeH1396 oldH6275, yea, wax mightyH2428 in powerH2428?

8Their seedH2233 is establishedH3559 with them in their sightH5869, and their offspringH2233 beforeH6440 their eyesH5869.

9Their housesH1004 are safeH7965 from fearH6343, neitherH3808 is the rodH7626 of GodH433 uponH5921 them.

10Their bullH7794 gendereth, and faileth notH3808; their cowH6510 calveth, and casteth notH3808 herH1602 calf.

11They sendH7971 forthH7971 their littleH5759 onesH5759 like a flockH6629, and their childrenH3206 danceH7540.

12They singH5375 to the timbrelH8596 and harpH3658, and rejoiceH8055 at the soundH6963 of the pipeH5748.

13They spendH1086 their daysH3117 in prosperityH2896, and in a momentH7281 they goH5181 downH5181 to SheolH7585.

14Yet they saidH559 unto GodH410, DepartH5493 from usH559; for we desireH2654 notH3808 the knowledgeH1847 of thy waysH1870.

15WhatH4100 is the AlmightyH7706, that weH3588 should serveH5647 him? and whatH4100 profitH3276 should weH3588 have, ifH3588 weH3588 pray unto him?

16LoH2005, their prosperityH2898 is notH3808 in their handH3027: the counselH6098 of the wickedH7563 is farH7368 from meH4480.
