Job 21

1Then Job^H347 answered^H6030 and said^H559, 2Hear^H8085 diligently^H8085 my speech^H4405; And let this be your consolations^H8575. 3Suffer^H5375 me, and I also will speak^H1696; And after^H310 that I have spoken^H1696, mock on^H3932. 4As for me, is my complaint^H7879 to man^H120? And why should I^H7307 not be impatient^H7114? 5Mark^H6437 me, and be astonished^H8074, And lay^H7760 your hand^H3027 upon your mouth^H6310. 6Even when I remember^H2142 I am troubled^H926, And horror^H6427 taketh hold on^H270 my flesh^H1320. 7Wherefore do the wicked^H7563 live^H2421, Become old^H6275, yea, wax mighty^H1396 in power^H2428? 8Their seed^H2233 is established^H3559 with them in their sight^H6440, And their offspring^H6631 before their eyes^H5869. 9Their houses^H1004 are safe^H7965 from fear^H6343, Neither is the rod^H7626 of God^H433 upon them. 10Their bull^H7794 gendereth^H5674, and faileth^H1602 not; Their cow^H6510 calveth^H6403, and casteth not her calf^H7921. 11They send forth^H7971 their little ones^H5759 like a flock^H6629, And their children^H3206 dance^H7540. 12They sing^H5375 to the timbrel^H8596 and harp^H3658, And rejoice^H8055 at the sound^H6963 of the pipe^H5748. 13They spend^H3615 their days^H3117 in prosperity^H2896, And in a moment^H7281 they go down^H2865 to Sheol^H7585. 14And they say^H559 unto God^H410, Depart^H5493 from us; For we desire^H2654 not the knowledge^H1847 of thy ways^H1870. 15What is the Almighty^H7706, that we should serve^H5647 him? And what profit^H3276 should we have, if we pray^H6293 unto him? 16Lo, their prosperity^H2898 is not in their hand^H3027: The counsel^H6098 of the wicked^H7563 is far^H7368 from me. 17How oft is it that the lamp^H5216 of the wicked^H7563 is put out^H1846? That their calamity^H343 cometh^H935 upon them? That God distributeth^H2505 sorrows^H2256 in his anger^H639? 18That they are as stubble^H8401 before^H6440 the wind^H7307, And as chaff^H4671 that the storm^H5492 carrieth away^H1589? 19Ye say, God^H433 layeth up^H6845 his iniquity^H205 for his children^H1121. Let him recompense^H7999 it unto himself, that he may know^H3045 it: 20Let his own eyes^H5869 see^H7200 his destruction^H3589, And let him drink^H8354 of the wrath^H2534 of the Almighty^H7706. 21For what careth^H2656 he for his house^H1004 after^H310 him, When the number^H4557 of his months^H2320 is cut off^H2686? 22Shall any teach^H3925 God^H410 knowledge^H1847, Seeing he judgeth^H8199 those that are high^H7311? 23One dieth^H4191 in his full^H8537 strength^H6106, Being wholly at ease^H7946 and quiet^H7961: 24His pails^H5845 are full^H4390 of milk^H2461, And the marrow^H4221 of his bones^H6106 is moistened^H8248. 25And another dieth^H4191 in bitterness^H4751 of soul^H5315, And never tasteth^H398 of good^H2896. 26They lie down^H7901 alike^H3162 in the dust^H6083, And the worm^H7415 covereth^H3680 them. 27Behold, I know^H3045 your thoughts^H4284, And the devices^H4209 wherewith ye would wrong^H2554 me. 28For ye say^H559, Where is the house^H1004 of the prince^H5081? And where is the tent^H4908 wherein the wicked^H7563 dwelt^H4908? 29Have ye not asked^H7592 wayfaring^H1870 men^H5674? And do ye not know^H5234 their evidences^H226, 30That the evil^H7451 man is reserved^H2820 to the day^H3117 of calamity^H343? That they are led forth^H2986 to the day^H3117 of wrath^H5678? 31Who shall declare^H5046 his way^H1870 to his face^H6440? And who shall repay^H7999 him what he hath done^H6213? 32Yet shall he be borne^H2986 to the grave^H6913, And men shall keep watch^H8245 over the tomb^H1430. 33The clods^H7263 of the valley^H5158 shall be sweet^H4985 unto him, And all men^H120 shall draw^H4900 after^H310 him, As there were innumerable^H4557 before^H6440 him. 34How then comfort^H5162 ye me in vain^H1892, Seeing in your answers^H8666 there remaineth^H7604 only falsehood^H4604?
