Job:21:14-34
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Therefore they say unto God ,
Depart from us ;
for we desire not the knowledge of thy ways .
*
What is the Almighty ,
that we should serve him ?
and what profit should we have ,
if we pray unto him ?
*
Lo ,
their good is not in their hand :
the counsel of the wicked is far from me .
*
How oft is the candle of the wicked put out !
and how oft cometh their destruction upon them !
God distributeth sorrows in his anger .
*
They are as stubble before the wind ,
and as chaff that the storm carrieth away .
*
God layeth up his iniquity for his children :
he rewardeth him ,
and he shall know it .
*
His eyes shall see his destruction ,
and he shall drink of the wrath of the Almighty .
*
For what pleasure hath he in his house after him ,
when the number of his months is cut off in the midst ?
*
Shall any teach God knowledge ?
seeing he judgeth those that are high .
*
One dieth in his full strength ,
being wholly at ease and quiet .
*
His breasts are full of milk ,
and his bones are moistened with marrow .
*
And another dieth in the bitterness of his soul ,
and never eateth with pleasure .
*
They shall lie down alike in the dust ,
and the worms shall cover them .
*
Behold ,
I know your thoughts ,
and the devices which ye wrongfully imagine against me .
*
For ye say ,
Where is the house of the prince ?
and where are the dwelling places of the wicked ?
*
Have ye not asked them that go by the way ?
and do ye not know their tokens ,
*
That the wicked is reserved to the day of destruction ?
they shall be brought forth to the day of wrath .
*
Who shall declare his way to his face ?
and who shall repay him what he hath done ?
*
Yet shall he be brought to the grave ,
and shall remain in the tomb .
*
The clods of the valley shall be sweet unto him ,
and every man shall draw after him ,
as there are innumerable before him .
*
How then comfort ye me in vain ,
seeing in your answers there remaineth falsehood ?
