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

mkjv@Job:21:2 @ Listen carefully to my speech, and let this be your comfort.

mkjv@Job:21:3 @ Rise with me and I shall speak; and after I have spoken, mock on.

mkjv@Job:21:4 @ [As for] me, is my complaint to man? And why should my spirit not be troubled?

mkjv@Job:21:5 @ Turn to me and be amazed, and lay [your] hand on [your] mouth.

mkjv@Job:21:6 @ And if I remember, I am afraid, and trembling takes hold on my flesh.

mkjv@Job:21:7 @ Why do the wicked live? They grow old and become mighty [in] power.

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

mkjv@Job:21:9 @ Their houses [are] in peace, without fear; nor [is] the rod of God on them.

mkjv@Job:21:10 @ Their bull mates and does not fail; their cow calves, and does not cast her calf.

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

mkjv@Job:21:12 @ They lift up [voice] at the timbrel and harp, and rejoice at the sound of the flute.

mkjv@Job:21:13 @ They spend their days in good, and in a moment go down [to] the grave.

mkjv@Job:21:14 @ And they say to God, Depart from us; for we do not desire the knowledge of your ways;

mkjv@Job:21:15 @ what [is] the Almighty, that we should serve Him? And what profit should we have if we pray to Him?

mkjv@Job:21:16 @ Behold, their good [is] not in their hand; the wisdom of the wicked is far from me.

mkjv@Job:21:17 @ How often is the lamp of the wicked put out, and their trouble comes on them! He shares out pains in His anger;

mkjv@Job:21:18 @ they are as stubble before the wind, and as chaff [that] the storm steals away.

mkjv@Job:21:19 @ God lays up his iniquity for his children. He repays him, and he knows.

mkjv@Job:21:20 @ His eyes shall see his ruin, and he shall drink of the wrath of the Almighty.

mkjv@Job:21:21 @ For what [is] his pleasure in his house after him, and the number of his months is cut off?

mkjv@Job:21:22 @ Shall [any] teach God knowledge, since He shall judge the exalted?

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

mkjv@Job:21:24 @ His sides are full of milk, his bones are wet with marrow.

mkjv@Job:21:25 @ And another dies with bitter soul, and never eats with pleasure.

mkjv@Job:21:26 @ They lie down together in the dust, and the worms shall cover them.

mkjv@Job:21:27 @ Behold, I know your thoughts, and the plots which you wrongfully hatch against me.

mkjv@Job:21:28 @ For you say, Where [is] the house of the noble, and where the dwelling-places of the wicked?

mkjv@Job:21:29 @ [Did] you not ask those who go by the way? And do you not know their signs,

mkjv@Job:21:30 @ that the wicked is kept for the day of calamity? They shall be brought to the day of wrath.

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

mkjv@Job:21:32 @ Yet he shall be brought to the grave, and watch shall be kept over [his] tomb.

mkjv@Job:21:33 @ And the clods of the valley shall be sweet to him and every man shall draw after him, as [there is] no numbering of those before him.

mkjv@Job:21:34 @ How then do you comfort me in vain; yea, in your answers remains transgression?
