Job 21:7-21 - Wicked People Do Not Suffer For Their Sins

7 Wherefore do, lawless men, live, advance in years, even wax mighty in power? 8 Their seed, is established in their sight, along with them, yea their offspring, before their eyes; 9 Their houses, are at peace, without dread, neither is, the rod of GOD, upon them; 10 His bull, covereth, and causeth not aversion, His cow safely calveth, and casteth not her young; 11 They send forth - like a flock - their young ones, and, their children, skip about for joy; 12 They rejoice aloud as with timbrel and lyre, and make merry to the sound of the pipe; 13 They complete, in prosperity, their days, and, in a moment to hades, they sink down. 14 Yet they said unto GOD, Depart from us, and, In the knowledge of thy ways, find we no pleasure. 15 What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? Or what shall we profit, that we should urge him? 16 Lo! not in their own hand, is their welfare, The counsel of lawless men, is far from me!

17 How oft, the lamp of the lawless, goeth out, and their calamity, cometh upon them, Sorrows, apportioneth he in his anger; 18 They become as straw before the wind, and as chaff, which the storm stealeth away. 19 Shall, GOD, reserve, for his children, his sorrow? Let him recompense him so that he may know it; 20 His own eyes, shall see his misfortune, and, the wrath of the Almighty, shall he drink. 21 For what shall be his pleasure in his house after him, when, the number of his months, is cut in twain?
