Book 18 Job Chapter 021

 

021:001But Job answered and said,

 

021:002Hear diligently my speech, and let this be your consolations.

 

021:003Suffer me that I may speak; and after that I have spoken, mock
on.

 

021:004As for me, is my complaint to man? and if it were so, why
should not my spirit be troubled?

 

021:005Mark me, and be astonished, and lay your hand upon your mouth.

 

021:006Even when I remember I am afraid, and trembling taketh hold on
my flesh.

 

021:007Wherefore do the wicked live, become old, yea, are mighty in
power?

 

021:008Their seed is established in their sight with them, and their
offspring before their eyes.

 

021:009Their houses are safe from fear, neither is the rod of God
upon them.

 

021:010Their bull gendereth, and faileth not; their cow calveth, and
casteth not her calf.

 

021:011They send forth their little ones like a flock, and their
children dance.

 

021:012They take the timbrel and harp, and rejoice at the sound of
the organ.

 

021:013They spend their days in wealth, and in a moment go down to
the grave.

 

021:014Therefore they say unto God, Depart from us; for we desire not
the knowledge of thy ways.

 

021:015What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? and what
profit should we have, if we pray unto him?

 

021:016Lo, their good is not in their hand: the counsel of the wicked
is far from me.

 

021:017How oft is the candle of the wicked put out! and how oft
cometh their destruction upon them! God distributeth sorrows
in his anger.

 

021:018They are as stubble before the wind, and as chaff that the
storm carrieth away.

 

021:019God layeth up his iniquity for his children: he rewardeth him,
and he shall know it.

 

021:020His eyes shall see his destruction, and he shall drink of the
wrath of the Almighty.

 

021:021For what pleasure hath he in his house after him, when the
number of his months is cut off in the midst?

 

021:022Shall any teach God knowledge? seeing he judgeth those that
are high.

 

021:023One dieth in his full strength, being wholly at ease and
quiet.

 

021:024His breasts are full of milk, and his bones are moistened with
marrow.

 

021:025And another dieth in the bitterness of his soul, and never
eateth with pleasure.

 

021:026They shall lie down alike in the dust, and the worms shall
cover them.

 

021:027Behold, I know your thoughts, and the devices which ye
wrongfully imagine against me.

 

021:028For ye say, Where is the house of the prince? and where are
the dwelling places of the wicked?

 

021:029Have ye not asked them that go by the way? and do ye not know
their tokens,

 

021:030That the wicked is reserved to the day of destruction? they
shall be brought forth to the day of wrath.

 

021:031Who shall declare his way to his face? and who shall repay him
what he hath done?

 

021:032Yet shall he be brought to the grave, and shall remain in the
tomb.

 

021:033The clods of the valley shall be sweet unto him, and every man
shall draw after him, as there are innumerable before him.

 

021:034How then comfort ye me in vain, seeing in your answers there
remaineth falsehood?
