Job:21:7-15
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Why do the wicked live and become old ,
Yes ,
become mighty in power ?
*
Their descendants are established with them in their sight ,
And their offspring before their eyes .
*
Their houses are safe from fear ,
Neither is the rod of God upon them .
*
Their bull breeds without failure ;
Their cow calves without miscarriage .
*
They send forth their little ones like a flock ,
And their children dance .
*
They sing to the tambourine and harp ,
And rejoice to the sound of the flute .
*
They spend their days in wealth ,
And in a moment go down to the grave .
*
Yet they say to God , "
Depart from us ,
For we do not desire the knowledge of Your ways .
*
Who is the Almighty ,
that we should serve Him ?
And what profit do we have if we pray to Him ?'
