21:1Then Job answered and said, Compare
21:2Listen carefully to my word, / And let this be your consolations. Compare
21:3Bear with me, and I will speak; / And after I have spoken, mock on. Compare
21:4As for me, is my complaint to man? / And why should my spirit not be impatient? Compare
21:5Look at me and be appalled; / And put your hand over your mouth. Compare
21:6Even when I remember, I am troubled, / And horror takes hold of my flesh. Compare
21:7Why do the wicked live, / Grow old, even become mighty in riches? Compare
21:8Their seed is established with them in their sight, / And their offspring, before their eyes. Compare
21:9Their houses are free from dread, / And the rod of God is not upon them. Compare
21:10Their bull breeds and does not fail; / Their cow calves and does not miscarry. Compare
21:11They send forth their little ones like a herd, / And their children dance. Compare
21:12They lift up their voices to the tambourine and lyre, / And they rejoice at the sound of the flute. Compare
21:13They spend their days in prosperity, / And in a moment they go down into Sheol. Compare
21:14And they say unto God, Depart from us, / For we do not desire the knowledge of Your ways. Compare
21:15What is the Almighty, that we should serve Him? / And what profit is there, that we should pray to Him? Compare
21:16Indeed, their prosperity is not in their own hand. / The counsel of the wicked is far from Him. Compare
21:17How often is the lamp of the wicked put out, / So that their calamity comes upon them, / So that God distributes sorrows in His anger? Compare
21:18Do they become like straw before the wind / And like chaff that the storm carries off? Compare
21:19You say, God stores up the punishment of his iniquity for his children. / I say, Let Him recompense him, so that he knows it. Compare
21:20Let his eyes see his destruction, / And let him drink the wrath of the Almighty. Compare
21:21For what is there for him to delight in, in his house after him, / When the number of his months is cut off? Compare
21:22Will someone teach knowledge to God, / Seeing that He judges those who are on high? Compare
21:23One dies in his full strength, / Being completely at ease and quiet; Compare
21:24His pails are full of milk, / And the marrow of his bones is moist. Compare
21:25But another dies in bitterness of soul / And does not taste of good. Compare
21:26They lie down alike in the dust, / And the worm covers them. Compare
21:27Indeed, I know your thoughts, / And the devices by which you would wrong me. Compare
21:28For you say, Where is the house of the prince? / Where is the tent of the dwellings of the wicked? Compare
21:29Have you not asked those who travel the roads? / And do you not regard their evidence, Compare
21:30That the wicked man is spared in the day of calamity, / That they are led forth at the day of overflowing wrath? Compare
21:31Who will declare his way to his face? / And who will repay him what he has done? Compare
21:32When he is borne to the grave, / A watch is kept over the tomb. Compare
21:33The clods of the valley are sweet to him; / And all men go in procession after him, / And those who went before him are without number. Compare
21:34Why then do you comfort me with vanity? / For your responses leave only falsehood behind. Compare
