dby@Job:21:1 @ And Job answered and said,

dby@Job:21:2 @ Hear attentively my speech, and let this replace your consolations.

dby@Job:21:3 @ Suffer me and I will speak; and after I have spoken, mock on!

dby@Job:21:4 @ As for me, is my complaint to a man? or wherefore should not my spirit be impatient?

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

dby@Job:21:6 @ Even when I think [thereon], I am affrighted, and trembling taketh hold of my flesh.

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

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

dby@Job:21:9 @ Their houses are safe from fear, neither is the rod of +God upon them.

dby@Job:21:10 @ Their bull gendereth, and faileth not; their cow calveth, and casteth not her calf.

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

dby@Job:21:12 @ They shout to the tambour and harp, and rejoice at the sound of the pipe.

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

dby@Job:21:14 @ And they say unto �God, Depart from us, for we desire not the knowledge of thy ways!

dby@Job:21:15 @ What is the Almighty that we should serve him? and what are we profited if we pray unto him?

dby@Job:21:16 @ Behold, their prosperity is not in their hand. The counsel of the wicked be far from me!

dby@Job:21:17 @ How often is the lamp of the wicked put out, and cometh their calamity upon them? Doth he distribute sorrows [to them] in his anger?

dby@Job:21:18 @ Do they become as stubble before the wind, and as chaff that the storm carrieth away?

dby@Job:21:19 @ +God layeth up [the punishment of] his iniquity for his children; he rewardeth him, and he shall know [it]:

dby@Job:21:20 @ His eyes shall see his destruction, and he shall drink of the fury of the Almighty.

dby@Job:21:21 @ For what pleasure should he have in his house after him, when the number of his months is cut off?

dby@Job:21:22 @ Can any teach �God knowledge? And he it is that judgeth those that are high.

dby@Job:21:23 @ One dieth in his full strength, being wholly at ease and quiet;

dby@Job:21:24 @ His sides are full of fat, and the marrow of his bones is moistened;

dby@Job:21:25 @ And another dieth in bitterness of soul, and hath not tasted good:

dby@Job:21:26 @ Together they lie down in the dust, and the worms cover them.

dby@Job:21:27 @ Lo, I know your thoughts, and the devices ye wrongfully imagine against me.

dby@Job:21:28 @ For ye say, Where is the house of the noble? and where the tent of the dwellings of the wicked?

dby@Job:21:29 @ Have ye not asked the wayfarers? and do ye not regard their tokens:

dby@Job:21:30 @ That the wicked is reserved for the day of calamity? They are led forth to the day of wrath.

dby@Job:21:31 @ Who shall declare his way to his face? and who shall repay him what he hath done?

dby@Job:21:32 @ Yet is he carried to the graves, and watch is kept over the tomb.

dby@Job:21:33 @ The clods of the valley are sweet unto him; and every man followeth suit after him, as there were innumerable before him.

dby@Job:21:34 @ How then comfort ye me in vain? Your answers remain perfidious.
