Job 8:11-22 - God Does Not Punish The Innocent Person

¹¹ Will the river-plant come up in its pride without wet earth? will the grass get tall without water? ¹² When it is still green, without being cut down, it becomes dry and dead before any other plant. ¹³ So is the end of all who do not keep God in mind; and the hope of the evil-doer comes to nothing: ¹⁴ Whose support is cut off, and whose hope is no stronger than a spider's thread. ¹⁵ He is looking to his family for support, but it is not there; he puts his hope in it, but it comes to nothing. ¹⁶ He is full of strength before the sun, and his branches go out over his garden. ¹⁷ His roots are twisted round the stones, forcing their way in between them. ¹⁸ If he is taken away from his place, then it will say, I have not seen you. ¹⁹ Such is the joy of his way, and out of the dust another comes up to take his place. ²⁰ Truly, God will not give up him who is without sin, and will not take evil-doers by the hand. ²¹ The time will come when your mouth will be full of laughing, and cries of joy will come from your lips. ²² Your haters will be clothed with shame, and the tent of the sinner will not be seen again.
