acv@Job:21:1 @ Then Job answered, and said,

acv@Job:21:2 @ Hear diligently my speech, And let this be your consolations.

acv@Job:21:3 @ Allow me, and I also will speak, and after I have spoken, mock on.

acv@Job:21:4 @ As for me, is my complaint to man? And why should I not be impatient?

acv@Job:21:5 @ Mark me, and be astonished, and lay your hand upon your mouth.

acv@Job:21:6 @ Even when I remember, I am troubled, and horror takes hold on my flesh.

acv@Job:21:7 @ Why do the wicked live, become old, yea, grow mighty in power?

acv@Job:21:8 @ Their seed is established with them in their sight, and their offspring before their eyes.

acv@Job:21:9 @ Their houses are safe from fear, nor is the rod of God upon them.

acv@Job:21:10 @ Their bull breeds, and does not fail. Their cow brings forth safely, and does not miscarry.

acv@Job:21:11 @ They send forth their little ones like a flock, and their children dance.

acv@Job:21:12 @ They sing to the timbrel and harp, and rejoice at the sound of the pipe.

acv@Job:21:13 @ They spend their days in prosperity, and in a moment they go down to Sheol.

acv@Job:21:14 @ And they say to God, Depart from us, for we do not desire the knowledge of thy ways.

acv@Job:21:15 @ What is the Almighty that we should serve him? And what profit should we have, if we pray to him?

acv@Job:21:16 @ Lo, [is] their prosperity not in their hand. (The counsel of the wicked is far from me.)

acv@Job:21:17 @ How often is it that the lamp of the profane is put out, that their calamity comes upon them, that [God] distributes sorrows in his anger,

acv@Job:21:18 @ that they are as stubble before the wind, and as chaff that the storm carries away?

acv@Job:21:19 @ [Ye say], God lays up his iniquity for his sons. Let him recompense it to himself that he may know it.

acv@Job:21:20 @ Let his own eyes see his destruction, and let him drink of the wrath of the Almighty.

acv@Job:21:21 @ For what does he care for his house after him when the number of his months is cut off?

acv@Job:21:22 @ Shall any teach God knowledge, seeing he judges those who are high?

acv@Job:21:23 @ One man dies in his full strength, being wholly at ease and quiet.

acv@Job:21:24 @ His pails are full of milk, and the marrow of his bones is moistened.

acv@Job:21:25 @ And another man dies in bitterness of soul, and never tastes of good.

acv@Job:21:26 @ They lie down alike in the dust, and the worm covers them.

acv@Job:21:27 @ Behold, I know your thoughts, and the devices with which ye would wrong me.

acv@Job:21:28 @ For ye say, Where is the house of the prince? And where is the tent in which the wicked dwelt?

acv@Job:21:29 @ Have ye not asked wayfaring men? And do ye not know their evidences,

acv@Job:21:30 @ that the evil man is reserved to the day of calamity? That they are led forth to the day of wrath?

acv@Job:21:31 @ Who shall declare his way to his face? And who shall repay him what he has done?

acv@Job:21:32 @ Yet he shall be borne to the grave, and men shall keep watch over the tomb.

acv@Job:21:33 @ The clods of the valley shall be sweet to him. And all men shall draw after him, as there were innumerable before him.

acv@Job:21:34 @ How then ye comfort me in vain, seeing in your answers there remains falsehood?
