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

⁷ Wherefore shall the unjust live? They grew old, also they were strong in power. ⁸ Their seed was established before their face with them, and their offspring before their eyes. ⁹ Their houses peace from fear, and the rod of God not upon them. ¹⁰ His ox passed over and will not be cast away: his heifer will escape and will not be barren. ¹¹ They will send forth their children as a flock, and their children will leap. ¹² They will lift up with the drum and harp, and they will rejoice at the voice of the pipe. ¹³ Their days glided on in good, and in a moment they will lay hold of hades. ¹⁴ And they will say to God, Depart from us; and we desired not the knowledge of thy ways. ¹⁵ What the Almighty that we shall serve him? and what shall we be profited if we shall supplicate to him? ¹⁶ Behold, their good not in the hand: the counsel of the unjust was far from me.

¹⁷ How often the light of the unjust shall be extinguished, and their destruction will come upon them. He will distribute pains in his anger. ¹⁸ They shall be as straw before the wind, and as chaff the storm stole it away. ¹⁹ God will lay up his iniquity for his sons: he will requite to him and be shall know. ²⁰ His eyes shall see his destruction, and he shall drink from the wrath of the Almighty. ²¹ For what his delight in his house after him, and the number of? his months were divided out?
