Job 21:17-28
-
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.
-
24 His breasts are full of milk, and his bones are moistened with marrow.
-
25 And another dieth in the bitterness of his soul, and never eateth with pleasure.
-
26 They shall lie down alike in the dust, and the worms shall cover them.
-
27 Behold, I know your thoughts, and the devices which ye wrongfully imagine against me.
-
28 For ye say, Where is the house of the prince? and where are the dwelling places of the wicked?
