Job 21
Job Says God Will Deal With The Wicked
1Then Job answered,
And let this be your way of consolation.
Then after I have spoken, you may mock.
And why should I not be impatient?
And put your hand over your mouth.
And horror takes hold of my flesh.
Continue on, also become very powerful?
And their offspring before their eyes,
And the rod of God is not on them.
His cow calves and does not abort.
And their children skip about.
And rejoice at the sound of the flute.
And suddenly they go down to Sheol.
We do not even desire the knowledge of Your ways.
And what would we gain if we entreat Him?’
The counsel of the wicked is far from me.
Or does their calamity fall on them?
Does God apportion destruction in His anger?
And like chaff which the storm carries away?
Let God repay him so that he may know it.
And let him drink of the wrath of the Almighty.
When the number of his months is cut off?
In that He judges those on high?
Being wholly at ease and satisfied;
And the marrow of his bones is moist,
Never even tasting anything good.
And worms cover them.
And the plans by which you would wrong me.
And where is the tent, the dwelling places of the wicked?’
And do you not recognize their witness?
They will be led forth at the day of fury.
And who will repay him for what he has done?
Men will keep watch over his tomb.
Moreover, all men will follow after him,
While countless ones go before him.
For your answers remain full of falsehood?”
