Job 21:1-9
-
1 But Job answered and said,
-
2 Hear diligently my speech, and let this be your consolations.
-
3 Suffer me that I may speak; and after that I have spoken, mock on.
-
4 As for me, is my complaint to man? and if it were so, why should not my spirit be troubled?
-
5 Mark me, and be astonished, and lay your hand upon your mouth.
-
6 Even when I remember I am afraid, and trembling taketh hold on my flesh.
-
7 Wherefore do the wicked live, become old, yea, are mighty in power?
-
8 Their seed is established in their sight with them, and their offspring before their eyes.
-
9 Their houses are safe from fear, neither is the rod of God upon them.
