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

¹¹ 'Doth a rush wise without mire? A reed increase without water? ¹² While it is in its budding -- uncropped, Even before any herb it withereth. ¹³ So are the paths of all forgetting God, And the hope of the profane doth perish, ¹⁴ Whose confidence is loathsome, And the house of a spider his trust. ¹⁵ He leaneth on his house -- and it standeth not: He taketh hold on it -- and it abideth not. ¹⁶ Green he is before the sun, And over his garden his branch goeth out. ¹⁷ By a heap his roots are wrapped, A house of stones he looketh for. ¹⁸ If one doth destroy him from his place, Then it hath feigned concerning him, I have not seen thee! ¹⁹ Lo, this is the joy of his way, And from the dust others spring up.' ²⁰ Lo, God doth not reject the perfect, Nor taketh hold on the hand of evil doers. ²¹ While he filleth with laughter thy mouth, And thy lips with shouting, ²² Those hating thee do put on shame, And the tent of the wicked is not!
