Job 21:10-23
-
10 Their bull gendereth, and faileth not; their cow calveth, and casteth not her calf.
-
11 They send forth their little ones like a flock, and their children dance.
-
12 They take the timbrel and harp, and rejoice at the sound of the organ.
-
13 They spend their days in wealth, and in a moment go down to the grave.
-
14 Therefore they say unto God, Depart from us; for we desire not the knowledge of thy ways.
-
15 What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? and what profit should we have, if we pray unto him?
-
16 Lo, their good is not in their hand: the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
-
17 How oft is the candle of the wicked put out! and how oft cometh their destruction upon them! God distributeth sorrows in his anger.
-
18 They are as stubble before the wind, and as chaff that the storm carrieth away.
-
19 God layeth up his iniquity for his children: he rewardeth him, and he shall know it.
-
20 His eyes shall see his destruction, and he shall drink of the wrath of the Almighty.
-
21 For what pleasure hath he in his house after him, when the number of his months is cut off in the midst?
-
22 Shall any teach God knowledge? seeing he judgeth those that are high.
-
23 One dieth in his full strength, being wholly at ease and quiet.
