Job 21:1-11 ▼

1 Bvt Iob answered, and sayd,

2 Heare diligently my wordes, and this shalbe in stead of your consolations.

3 Suffer mee, that I may speake, and when I haue spoken, mocke on.

4 Doe I direct my talke to man? If it were so, how should not my spirit be troubled?

5 Marke mee, and be abashed, and lay your hand vpon your mouth.

6 Euen when I remember, I am afrayde, and feare taketh hold on my flesh.

7 Wherefore do the wicked liue, and waxe olde, and grow in wealth?

8 Their seede is established in their sight with them, and their generation before their eyes.

9 Their houses are peaceable without feare, and the rod of God is not vpon them.

10 Their bullocke gendreth, and fayleth not: their cow calueth, and casteth not her calfe.

11 They send forth their children like sheepe, and their sonnes dance.
