Lo, their prosperity is not in their hand:
The counsel of the wicked is far from me.

How oft is it that the lamp of the wicked is put out?
That their calamity cometh upon them?
That God distributeth sorrows in his anger?

And as chaff that the storm carrieth away?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 21:19 -
Ye say, God layeth up his iniquity for his children.
Let him recompense it unto himself, that he may know it:

And let him drink of the wrath of the Almighty.

When the number of his months is cut off?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 21:22 -

Seeing he judgeth those that are high?

Being wholly at ease and quiet:

His pails are full of milk,
And the marrow of his bones is moistened.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 21:25 -
And another dieth in bitterness of soul,
And never tasteth of good.

And the worm covereth them.

And the devices wherewith ye would wrong me.

And where is the tent wherein the wicked dwelt?

Have ye not asked wayfaring men?
And do ye not know their evidences,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 21:30 -
That the evil man is reserved to the day of calamity?
That they are led forth to the day of wrath?

Who shall declare his way to his face?
And who shall repay him what he hath done?

Yet shall he be borne to the grave,
And men shall keep watch over the tomb.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 21:33 -
The clods of the valley shall be sweet unto him,
And all men shall draw after him,
As there were innumerable before him.

How then comfort ye me in vain,
Seeing in your answers there remaineth only falsehood?
