Job:21
Seeker Overlay ON
*
But Job answered and said ,
*
Hear diligently my speech ,
and let this be your consolations .
*
Suffer me that I may speak ;
and after that I have spoken ,
mock on .
*
As for me ,
is my complaint to man ?
and if it were so ,
why should not my spirit be troubled ?
*
Mark me ,
and be astonished ,
and lay your hand upon your mouth .
*
Even when I remember I am afraid ,
and trembling taketh hold on my flesh .
*
Wherefore do the wicked live ,
become old ,
yea ,
are mighty in power ?
*
Their seed is established in their sight with them ,
and their offspring before their eyes .
*
Their houses are safe from fear ,
neither is the rod of God upon them .
*
Their bull gendereth ,
and faileth not ;
their cow calveth ,
and casteth not her calf .
*
They send forth their little ones like a flock tso #
n #,
and their children dance .
*
They take the timbrel and harp ,
and rejoice at the sound of the organ .
*
They spend (
8675 )
their days in wealth ,
and in a moment go down (
8676 )
to the grave sh @#
owl #.
*
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 da #
ath #?
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 ma #
