ylt@Job:21:1 @And Job answereth and saith: --

ylt@Job:21:2 @Hear ye diligently my word, And this is your consolation.

ylt@Job:21:3 @Bear with me, and I speak, And after my speaking -- ye may deride.

ylt@Job:21:4 @I -- to man [is] my complaint? and if [so], wherefore May not my temper become short?

ylt@Job:21:5 @Turn unto me, and be astonished, And put hand to mouth.

ylt@Job:21:6 @Yea, if I have remembered, then I have been troubled. And my flesh hath taken fright.

ylt@Job:21:7 @Wherefore do the wicked live? They have become old, Yea, they have been mighty in wealth.

ylt@Job:21:8 @Their seed is established, Before their face with them, And their offspring before their eyes.

ylt@Job:21:9 @Their houses [are] peace without fear, Nor [is] a rod of God upon them.

ylt@Job:21:10 @His bullock hath eaten corn, and doth not loath. His cow bringeth forth safely, And doth not miscarry.

ylt@Job:21:11 @They send forth as a flock their sucklings, And their children skip,

ylt@Job:21:12 @They lift [themselves] up at timbrel and harp, And rejoice at the sound of an organ.

ylt@Job:21:13 @They wear out in good their days, And in a moment [to] Sheol go down.

ylt@Job:21:14 @And they say to God, 'Turn aside from us, And the knowledge of Thy ways We have not desired.

ylt@Job:21:15 @What [is] the Mighty One that we serve Him? And what do we profit when we meet with Him?'

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

ylt@Job:21:17 @How oft is the lamp of the wicked extinguished, And come on them doth their calamity? Pangs He apportioneth in His anger.

ylt@Job:21:18 @They are as straw before wind, And as chaff a hurricane hath stolen away,

ylt@Job:21:19 @God layeth up for his sons his sorrow, He giveth recompense unto him -- and he knoweth.

ylt@Job:21:20 @His own eyes see his destruction, And of the wrath of the Mighty he drinketh.

ylt@Job:21:21 @For what [is] his delight in his house after him, And the number of his months cut off?

ylt@Job:21:22 @To God doth [one] teach knowledge, And He the high doth judge?

ylt@Job:21:23 @This [one] dieth in his perfect strength, Wholly at ease and quiet.

ylt@Job:21:24 @His breasts have been full of milk, And marrow his bones doth moisten.

ylt@Job:21:25 @And this [one] dieth with a bitter soul, And have not eaten with gladness.

ylt@Job:21:26 @Together -- on the dust they lie down, And the worm doth cover them over.

ylt@Job:21:27 @Lo, I have known your thoughts, And the devices against me ye do wrongfully.

ylt@Job:21:28 @For ye say, 'Where [is] the house of the noble? And where the tent -- The tabernacles of the wicked?'

ylt@Job:21:29 @Have ye not asked those passing by the way? And their signs do ye not know?

ylt@Job:21:30 @That to a day of calamity is the wicked spared. To a day of wrath they are brought.

ylt@Job:21:31 @Who doth declare to his face his way? And [for] that which he hath done, Who doth give recompence to him?

ylt@Job:21:32 @And he -- to the graves he is brought. And over the heap a watch is kept.

ylt@Job:21:33 @Sweet to him have been the clods of the valley, And after him every man he draweth, And before him there is no numbering.

ylt@Job:21:34 @And how do ye comfort me [with] vanity, And in your answers hath been left trespass?
