The King James Version Bible

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.
