Job 21:18

Job's Seventh Speech: A Response To Zophar

¹⁷ "How often is it that the lamp of the wicked is put out? That their calamity comes upon them? That God distributes pains in his anger? ¹⁸ “Are they as straw before the wind,
And like chaff which the storm carries away?
¹⁹ You say, 'God stores up their iniquity for their children.' Let him pay it out to them, that they may know it.
