Job 21:18

Job's Seventh Speech: A Response To Zophar

¹⁷ "How often is [the] lamp of [the] wicked put out, and their disaster comes upon them? He distributes pains in his anger. ¹⁸ [How often] are they like straw {before} the wind, and like chaff that [the] storm carries away? ¹⁹ 'God stores up his iniquity for his children'? [Then] let him repay [it] to him that he may know.
